THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Bronze Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow marines. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Lt Allan Herman, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Officer. Your 76th birthday is soon, happy birthday. Yesterday was Armed Forces Day. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels....

I remember spending summers with allan at my sisters and brother-in-laws farm in Niagra Wisconsin. We use to play war with toy soldiers. I remember picking green beans on the farm and earning 50 cents for each burlap bag filled. Allan's Uncle Bill Cretton was married to my sister.

THE ONE THING WAS TO VISIT THE WALL AND THE BRAVE FRIENDS WE LOST IN 1967 1968. WE ALL BECAME FAST CLOSE FRIENDS DURING OCS TRAINING. MY HUSBAND WAS 2ND LT TERRY HODGES USMC. AS WIVES WE WERE ALL SO PROUD OF OUR HUSBANDS. I REMEMBER HOW ENTHUSIASTIC ALLEN WAS ABOUT EMBARKING UPON HIS CAREER IS THE MARINE CORPS.
47 YEARS LATER I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU AND BARB, I WAS PROUD TO TAKE A RUBBING OF YOUR NAME.
