THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. We should be forever thankful for the sacrifices of you and so many others to ensure the freedoms we so often take for granted.

Dear PFC David Hill, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Tomorrow is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and we should remember all of you who served. Watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

Private First Class David Allen Hill, Served with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 11th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

David, What a shame I did not know you better. Your life was so short and our introduction really came in High School even though we were cousins. Your sacrifice has meant much to me all of my life but even more as I grow older and realize all that you gave up in giving your life for our country. Thank you!

I knew David. He was a year older than me, but we attended the same Leominster First Baptist Church and were in the same Sunday School class. I can remember when I found out he was drafted. I told my mother that David would never make it home alive. She asked why I said that. I told her because he is so calm, quiet, and caring. He couldn't hurt a fly let alone kill another human being, even if his own life depended on it. Unfortunately I was correct.
David and I had a few conversations after church or Sunday School. He was soft spoken and very knowledgeable. Obviously, I still think of him at my age now of 65. Sandra R.
