THE WALL OF FACES

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Laurence Ray Ashmore, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you LCPL Laurence Ray Ashmore, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

I went through basic training with Larry at Parris Island, South Carolina in the summer of 1967. I only recently discovered that he perished in Vietnam. I am hoping that someone could share with me the circumstances of Larry's passing. I would very much appreciate any information that anyone could please send along to me concerning the loss of my long-ago friend.

Many Thanks,

During those dark times, we could smile and laugh. That day changed our lives - of who we were and who we would be. Since that day, I have not forgotten your sacrifice and never will.
