THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your brother Norman is touching and reflects the anguish experienced by so many who lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Roy was the medic in my platoon. Our platoon was the in lead of our company when we moved out of our night position and got caught in an ambush. Doc did what Medics do. He answered the call of "MEDIC!". When he started forward, he was hit and killed.

It was 50 years ago today that you gave your life for your fellow brothers. You will not be forgotten. Thank you for your sacrifice. You were a remarkable human being and a gift from God.

Dear Sp4 Roy Fickling,
Thank you for your service as a Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. It is Labor Day weekend, and we remember you all. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I met Roy on the flight to Ft Sam Houston to begin our Basic Training and AIT Medic Training. Roy became a very good Friend all through our training. As a fellow Adventist, we had much in common. WE shared many thoughts and many training exercises through our time together at Ft Sam Houston, TX. Our friendship was to continue after our service was over. Roy is thought of often, and missed dearly.
