THE WALL OF FACES

I never met you you were already gone before I was born my name given to me when I was born. Was Leslie Edmond Hines V I just want you to know that I am so thankful for your sacrifice! I am a Torpedoman first class USN now and I hope that you are proud of my accomplishments. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

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.

I served under 1lt Leslie Hines, 2nd platoon E troop 11thACR. I was there when he was killed.

I was 11 when my family and I went to your funeral and later to your mom’s house for lunch. Your family and my family were close friends. When I was older I joined the military and am now a veteran. I realize your sacrifice and the grief of your family.

God holds you in the palm of his hand. We hold you in our hearts in the place reserved for heroes.
