THE WALL OF FACES

John, we were in the same position on our first ever platoon ambush the night of February 13th, 1967. There was 22 of us and 8 were wounded with 4 passing of the 8.
There were 4 of us in our position, including you, Carl William Mueller, Grady Bowie and myself Carl McDonald. I was within a couple of feet of you when you were hit. We were all wounded with two that passed and two severely injured. I pray that your family has peace after all these years. God Bless You. Carl Mc
