THE WALL OF FACES

Just wanted to let Erv know, that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and Mike Snow as well as the rest of our gang. I was there the day that you were killed, I'll always remember you, semper fi brother, rest in eternal peace.

Went to McLane with Ervin and spent most of my Junior year having lunch at Cedar Lanes with Ervin and the group.. He was a year ahead of me and Joined the Marines after graduation. He had already made plans to join before graduation. I joined the Navy in September of 1965 and was in DaNang in 1967, when he was KIA. The following is a copy of an email from Michael Snow, the wounded Marine Ervin was trying to save. “hi allen, this is mike snow in reply to your email I hardly ever check my email so I just saw your email today sorry for the delay I guess viet nam taught us all a lot of things like what matters and what don't it gets confusing.ERVIN lives with me every day for the rest of my life so I guess because of that he will never be forgotten.I wonder what he would think about whats going on in our usa today, I don't think he would approve. He and I both played guitars,he was much better then i.he was very soft spoken and easy going but ready to help at the drop of a hat. he will always be remembered”....I Post a remembrance of Ervin every Veterans and Memorial on my FB page. Not Forgotten..........

Corporal Ervin George Aschenbrener Jr., Served with Battery E, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

DEAR CORPORAL ASCHENBRENER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR. FRANKIE WAS A MARINE WHO DIED IN QUANG TRI, TOO. SAY HI TO HIM, SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.

Although I didn't know it, I was stationed in Hue about 50 miles and 5 years after Erv was in the Nam. In 1988 I married his baby sister Karen.

Wish I'd met you, man. Semper Fi.
