THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Lori is touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Larry was always a hero, and remains a hero, to me. He was a senior in high school when I was in kindergarten. Many years between us, so I didn't know him real well. I still remember the day he left to go overseas for 1 year. I was 11 years old but didn't realize the impact of his leaving and I would never see him alive again.

Thank you to those who have written remembrances to my brother. Bless you for your patriotism, loyalty and faith.

U are the cousin I never met. You will never be forgotten. Remember John 5:28,29. We will see you again. Have any questions e-mail me at ja[email protected].
