THE WALL OF FACES

I was the third M-60 gunner I was on the far right side we were providing supporting fire for our unit maneuvers when we lost fire from two of the M-60 fire support.We were confused at such a great lost of two friends who gave all in the name of Freedom. I live with this every day for we did our best.

Dear SSG Humberto Acosta-Rosario, I received your MIA bracelet in January, 2018. I will always wear it and if I can, I will ask my son now serving to continue to wear it when God calls me to be with Him. It is not by accident that I wear your bracelet. I started looking for MIA/POWs from Puerto Rico and I found you. Today (2/3/2018) I read all seven pages of messages and now I am writing you another one. Dear Boricua, you are not forgotten. I pray for you and your family at night. I am also a soldier(retired now) and hope that we can meet in Heaven. Rest in peace fellow soldier.

I bought this bracelet, out of all the others,because it spoke the loudest to me.It said, I'm here don't leave with out me! We need each other,and at that moment I realized how lost i was. And now as I read his bio, i know what he was trying to tell me. We need to be remembered. And I do.

Had for many years I have worn Ssgt Humberto acosta Rosario bracelets....still have it..and will always remember him and many others that fidnt make home...

DEAR STAFF SERGEANT ACOSTA,

I DID NOT WEAR YOUR BRACELET, I WORE A DIFFERENT ONE.

IT KILLS ME THAT YOUR REMAINS WERE NEVER FOUND, BUT I HAVE HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE RETURNED TO YOUR HOME.

REST IN PEACE. YOU HAVE EARNED IT.
