THE WALL OF FACES

Uncle Dick will always be a hero. He is in heaven with his mother, sisters and brother. What a glorious day it will be to see them together. I will be in D.C. next month to touch his name on the wall. Thank you for your bravery. He would be so very proud of his son, Blake.

Much love, Martha

This day 50 years ago you were Killed in Action. Just wanted you to know I have not forgotten who you are to me and the sacrifice you did for all. I’m proud of you and will see you at heaven’s gate!

Your Son JBGR!

Dear Lt Richard Glenn,
Thank you for your service as a Ranger Qualified Infantry Unit Commander. Merry Christmas. 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.

I was a classmate and teammate with Dick at Coffee High School. After he was killed and his body returned home, I attended his funeral at Shiloh National Military Park Cemetery. Another classmate's mother, Kitty Belew called me and two other classmates (I think it was Mike Fountain and Alice Edwards) and she drove us to the cemetery for the funeral. It was a cold day and spitting snow. Dick's mother was crying about her boy. It was a very sad day and a terrible waste.

A quiet true Hero. My grandmother nevet got over his death. She never put up a Christmas tree after he died. She waited for the day she met him in heaven. Now he is there with parents and all siblings ...celebrating!
