THE WALL OF FACES

I'm sorry that I never got the chance to meet you. I wish your great-grandkids could have known you, too. Our family and country owes you a debt of gratitude and although you aren't here with us I think you would be proud. We will not forget you.

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.

Staff Sergeant Paul Edward Floyd Jr., Served with Company D, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.
