THE WALL OF FACES

Remembering you and those who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War. This year makes 50 years since America left Vietnam, but the time that you and those we lost have been gone seems so much longer.

With respect, always.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Lisa Hancock are moving and reflect her eternal love for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

We can tell Memorial Day is coming with the wreaths that hang on front doors, and the small red, white, and blue American flags that line the grass covered graves of the Veterans’ cemeteries all acrosse America. One of those graves is yours, and we honor your life and your memory on this Memorial day.

May we never forget your example and the true cost of our freedoms. You with those who love you paid that cost, and America will be forever indebted.

With respect, always.

This year, as every year for many, my wife finishes the wreaths she makes for every Memorial Day and our American flag is raised in remembrance, as we observe this somber national holiday. You and our loved ones whose names also are inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial are in our hearts. My family and I will never forget the cost of our freedoms, and the men and women who have and continue to step forward to keep America safe.
With respect, always.

Today, Doug Vendola and I met for lunch today,as we try to do every couple months. We went through basic and AIT together with John and the three of us were very close. We slipped off base as often as possible, usually without a pass, and hitchhiked to Flemington in time for the races. Good times. And I recognized the gentleman who shared the 2nd floor at C 4-1 AIT at Ft Dix. Welcome home Tom. Anyway, our thanks to whoever is taking care of his gravesite! We hadn’t planned on visiting— just kinda happened. Wasn’t until we got there that we realized it was John’s Birthday—- meant to be!
