THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just one day after your 21st birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Sgt Delbert Hall,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. The war was years ago, but we all need to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

The sight of Delberts' last moments have been forever imprinted in my mind. Time and time again I still feel the horror of that fateful day. The Lt., Sgt. Farrel, the guys behind me, plus the confusion of being caught up in that terrible ambush on hill 714. When I think of him I see his face; I will always see his face.
