THE WALL OF FACES

Pete, I think about you almost every day since I watched you leave on that patrol.

Dear Sp4 Peter Heissenbuttel.
Thank you for your service as a Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. 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.

You live on in the beautiful smiles and gentle, loving hearts of your nieces, nephews, and great-nieces. I wish I could have known you, and for your family to have known joy to have you back. Your loss has been felt across generations, even as your bravery and generous heart live on.

I thought about you on your birthday, Peter. I miss you.

I'm thinking of and honoring your memory today, Peter; I often do; more, I imagine, than you would ever think. You were- you will always be- one of my life's greatest joys. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
