THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. I am 72 now and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you were not afforded the same opportunity.

Private First Class David Charles Auge, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

On the remembrance of your 72nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

David, it has been 50 years since you were taken from us. We were together from boot camp to Vietnam. You always had a song playing in your head and always tapping your foot. We called you Happy Feet. We went to Disney Land before we shipped out. you were assigned to your unit and I to mine. Before we parted in Danang we tore a dollar bill in half. You took half and I the other. We were to reunite them when we returned to buy a beer. I still have my half. David, I still think of you all the time. You have been missed. Simper Fi my brother.
