THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your fellow soldier and friend Keith Bodine is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Ricky, we are cousins. With your parents passing, I inherited your picture (in uniform) and your medals. They sit on my mantle so I get to see you every day. We never got to spend enough time together growing up. Your best buddy, Keith, left a message on the wall years ago and I was able to locate him. He has become such a wonderful friend. We miss you and love you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Love, Your cousin, Laura
