THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to or country so long ago sir. I am heartened you returned home after the passage of so many years though I wish it had been under very different circumstances. May you rest in eternal peace.

Sergeant Rodney Lynn Griffin, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

My father was the casualty assistance officer for the Griffin family. I was a teenager at the time and can remember the solemnity and respect with which he carried out his duty. He thought so much of the Griffins that he wore a metal bracelet with his name on it every day for the rest of his life. When my father passed away, he was buried wearing the bracelet. My family was deeply touched when we read that Rodney Griffin's remains were found and returned home. I continue to think of the Griffin family and thank them for their sacrifice.

I received a bracelet of sgt. Rodney Griffin from my mother-in-law. It is great condition and said she had worn the bracket most of her childhood. I have it now and I am planning on wearing it everyday to remember sgt. Rodney Griffin. I being a solider myself am honored to remember a man who put service above himself. I hope this finds someone reading it and brings them joy in knowing that someone who never knew him loves and cares for him and that he is remembered always. Sincerely, Benjamin golden Brevard, NC

Moving and found my POW bracelet with your name on it. I am relieved you are now home with family. I salute you. -
