THE WALL OF FACES

Happy Birthday Joey, I love and miss you so much. And always think of what the world is missing without you in it. You would of accomplished so much. Hugs from me.

I haven't written in a while but think of you always. I love and miss you dearly.You are the bravest of the brave and my hero. We have a Little Joey now and he's as handsome as you and also another boy Michael. You would love them. God bless.

I too was with Company D on June 20th 1969. I was on the opposite side of LZ Ike, to the north, while PFC Goetzer was on the south side I believe. Life is so precious, but most do not know how little it takes to sweep it away from us. Although I did not personally know Joseph, I have been forever in his and my memories of that night. There was a PFC standing behind me when I was wounded who also died. There is no easy way to accept the fact that one minute your there and the next, well the next you are to be remembered more then you could ever have imagined. Hopefully all that knew you or knew of you can be better knowing that you were doing everything you could for yourself and your fellow soldiers. RIP PFC Joseph James Goetzer Jr.!!

Uncle Joey, they have the traveling wall near us. I am going to go tomorrow. When I touch your name I hope you feel my love. We all love you and miss you more than words can express.
