THE WALL OF FACES

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Kenneth Virgil Goodman, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC Kenneth Virgil Goodman, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

KENNETH AND I WERE IN BOOTCAMP TOGETHER.I RECALL HIM BEING A VERY HARD AND DEDICATED MARINE. HE BUSTED HIS BUTT ON EVERY TRAINING EXERCISE HE WAS INVOLVED IN.I WAS IN VIETNAM AT HUE DURING THE TET OFFENSIVE WHEN I RECIEVED WORD OF HIS DEATH FROM MY PARENTS.
SEMPER FI KEN!!!

You know you cannot bring me back,
You know that I am gone,
I walk the streets of Heaven now,
It's my eternal home,
But think of me now and then,
Just as you do today,
Remember that I died for you,
So America could stay,
A land where men are equal,
A land where men are free,
A land I lived and died for,
When you think of Freedom,
"THINK OF ME".

"I TRIED"

"I TRIED" my best to save you,
Both you and God know "I TRIED",
"I TRIED" to stop the hand of death,
As I knelt there by your side,
"I TRIED" everything that I could do,
During the fire-fight in Nam that day,
But no matter how hard "I TRIED",
There was nothing I could do or say,
I stared deep into your eyes,
I held you as you died,
And though no words were spoken,
I believe you know "I TRIED"
