THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. May you rest in eternal peace.

Specialist Four Stanley Carl Fuller, Served with the Reconnaissance Platoon, Company E, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 199th Infantry Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear Sp4 Stanley Fuller,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Army Times ran a photo of Stan skipping rope in front of some Vietnamese children just before my Christmas leave in 1968. When I got home, Dad told me the radio said an SHHS grad was killed in action. I asked if it was Stan Fuller. He had an odd expression on his face and said it might have been. I was in 'Nam six months later. I wondered about Stan for years. When a list of Vietnam Ward dead was added to the others at Hillcrest Park, I went to see it. There was Stan's name. RIP.

Stan, you will never be forgotten, you gave all, while many of us gave little. I have been to the wall to find your name, which is on my ice box, when the Wall is in town I always make it a commitment to visit it. see you in heaven.
