THE WALL OF FACES

This Marine Corp Birthday & Veterans day also commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam memorial in Washington DC. It has been a place for families to pay their respects & connect to thier lost soldier. I have been fortunate to connect to your Marine brothers whom were with you when you died. They say they are my uncles now. They loved you as a brother & you are always carried in thier hearts. You have been mentioned in books, about specfic battles, you were called a Hero, a Hell of a Marine. To me, you always have been a hero, even before you joined the Marines & went to Viernam. You are loved & missed. So proud of your service & sacrifice, and knowing how many people you have touched in your short life. My new uncles keep in touch, share their stories & rememberances, so I continue to know you better, my children & grandson whom have never met you, know you, love you and are grateful to you for your service to our country & the help you gave to the Vietnamese people. I honor you every day, in my own way. You will never be forgotten Uncle David. Semper Fi
