THE WALL OF FACES

My father, Page Henry, was a true hero and he will always be #1 in my book. He would be proud to know his son grew up to be a contributor to society and served his country in the USN for twelve hard years aboard three of the finest ships in the fleet, USS Eisenhower CVN-69, USS Guadalcanal LPH-7, and the USS Enterprise CVN-65. Geronimo was his call.

I just learned of your death today, even though you've been gone for more than 33 years.

I served in your platoon in C Co. 501st Airborne Infantry in 1963 at Ft. Campbell. I was in the squad that won best squad in the Battle Group; a squad you made sure met your high standards. That was the same year you won the award as Division Soldier of theYear.

You were an outstanding soldier. Even a wise ass 18 year old could see that. I didn't know you personally, but I'm sure you were an outstanding man as well.

I don't pray much, but I said a prayer today. I thanked God for you and all men like you. Airborne.
