THE WALL OF FACES

David, I was with you at Camp Pendleton and in Vietnam on Operation Hastings, I got wounded July 26, 1966 when Mike Cook died in our fox hole, and I was with you again at the Vietnam Wall on 10-17-16 and brought you home with me as I took a rubbing of your name...
You are missed and thought of and I pray for your family. God Bless you my brother and Semper Fi.
Bob Coffey LCPL USMC

Dear LCPL David Emerson Hall, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Mary Frye – 1932

David is buried at Arlington Nat Cem.
