THE WALL OF FACES

Gordon, we never met but I was in Charley company before you. I knew the territory you were in and what you were up against.
I hope you are resting well. You are remembered.

It was 48 years ago today that you were killed. It's still hard to imagine....I knew you as my big brother who always looked out for me. God bless your memory. Love you...your little sister, Gwen

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Gordon.

Cousin, I never met or knew you and we probably would not have recognized each other as being related. You in the Army, I in the Marines. Another poster told of your demise. There are ironies, incompetents and stories that abound about that war. There still are! Things haven't changed much. I am writing up your story in the family history. I will try and do you justice. Semper Fi!
