THE WALL OF FACES

Specialist Four Leland Patrick Finley, Served with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

My brother, Joe, and I spent about 15 years with Leland as he was our next door neighbor on Jasperson Way in Westminster, CA. We would all play games in his parent’s swimming pool on hot summer days. I still remember the shock I felt when I learned of his fate. I went to Vietnam two years later in the Air Force and his memory was with me the whole time. Every Memorial Day, I take a moment to remember him. James Kasprzyk (aka Paul)
