THE WALL OF FACES

They went with songs to battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady & aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted. They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
We will remember them.
Fifty years gone. Missed & loved always.

Rest......

Captain Ron- it’s unbelievable to think that 50 years have passed since you were reported missing in action, then found. We were only 23 years when you were killed??.
You wanted to stop the spread of Communism, as did so many of your fellow combat soldiers. Not many days go by that you are not prayed for, thought of, missed....you’ll always be loved. Blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream!

Dear Captain Ronald Goulet,
Thank you for your service as a Special Forces Qualified Infantry Unit Commander. Your 73rd birthday was 2 days ago, happy birthday. 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 didn't actually know Ron when we went to the Enfield High School, but I've thought about him MANY times since learning of hiz Heroic Death in 1969.
