THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Allen, to honor your memory and the sacrifice you made for your country I want to make sure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed, so it is with great pride and humility that I post this remembrance and picture of you. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many all these years later. You have been designated to be one of God's special angels, along with the love of my life, who also sacrificed his life during this war 45 years ago. God Bless You, Allen , for being who you were and for all you did--we live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you.

Allen is buried at Union Mound Cemetery, Sumner, Bremer County,IA.

Allen, we went through boot camp together and served together in Viet Nam. I will not forget you. God bless you. Semper Fidelis

I am posting this as part of the Gridley High School posting project for one of my classes at Gridley High School in Gridley Illinois and I would like to offer this remembrance to the special souls who gave the ultimate and supreme sacrifice for our country. For you, Allen James Avery, I salute you for serving our country and giving the supreme sacrifice.
Thank you
Christopher Stoller
