THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Karen,
I was hoping to gain more info on Larry’s service and maybe even names of fellow Marines he served with. My Dad was Larry’s cousin and he has told me about them as kids, but not much of his Military service. I am a combat Veteran myself and would love to learn more.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Lcpl Laurence Herfel,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Today is Armed Forces Day. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

I started to search the web to find information on how Larry died. Larry had 3 other siblings that were not part of his life until a month before he died. Joanne and he lived together. We had the same mother. I was in 4th grade when Larry was home on leave because his dad was in the hospital. Larry and Joanne came and surprised our mother and we all ate and talked. It wasn't to long after that my sister came and told us of his death. She tells me stories of him and I wish I could have known him longer. He was a true Marine and served his country. Luv you Karen
