THE WALL OF FACES

Eddie, I never got the chance to meet you. You gave your life for this country before I was born, but somehow I feel as if I have known you all my life. You were my father's best friend. He still has your letters tucked away in a box, and when I was a child, he would take out that box and show me the pictures of you that you sent him from Vietnam. He spoke of you often, and always with a laugh. He thought of you as a brother. I wish I could have met you... I know I would have loved you, just as much as my Dad did. I know I'll see you in the next life.
