THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who knew you are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I recently discovered this connection of Peter to my family... as a Canadian, the war in Vietnam was something distant, something only seen on the news when I was a kid. I watched family friends, who were Americans living in Canada, go through the stress of worrying about their brothers who were serving there and worried along with them. This discovery brings it closer to home... Peter would be of the same generation as my brothers and I... I find it strange how a few miles and a dotted line on a map made our lives so different. Rest in peace cousin.. you are not forgotten.

Thank you for your service as a Rifleman.Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of 9/11, 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.
