THE WALL OF FACES

I wore you on my wrist for over 30 years. I took you to the wall in 2009. I said good bye said a prayer and put you with the rest of the heroes. merry Christmas and god bless you.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smiel...Nerving thy heart, and trembli ng hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

You gave your life for your country and for this we Salute You.

Dear Mr. Griffith,

I just would like to thank you so much for your sacrifice and your brave leadership to give us our freedom we have today. For your gracious effort, you shall always be remembered.
Sincerely, Ryan McKinsey
