THE WALL OF FACES

On your 74th Birthday Anniversary I found this memorial page dedicated to your honor as well as the Silver Star Citation you did not live to receive. I thank you for the courage you had to summon up as your duty as a U. S. Marine.
For the action you took without regard to your own personal safety, your sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten.

Without people like you our great nation wouldn't exist. We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. Rest in peace LCPL. Hammons, I salute your brave soul. Semper Fidelis!

Read about you in the book, "Hue 1968," by Mark Bowden...pg 437-441.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Lance Corporal Herbert Don Hammons, Served with Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
