THE WALL OF FACES

Uncle Linwood, I will always remember you. You have a quick wit--it lives in my children. Your mischievious ways live on in my oldest daughter. Your lips are on my middle child. Your physique lives on in my son. Your legacy will live on in your daughter. I know you would have been a good father because you stood in for mine. You, Mary and Dee! Always together--my uncle, my mother and my aunt--all gone! I miss you! I love you! I still smile at the thought of you

.

Linwood is buried at Holmes Family Cemetery in Ernul, NC.

My name is Kimberly Robertson, my father (Linwood M. Holmes), was killed in the Vietnam War, in 1966. I never knew my father, because my mother was five months pregnant with me at the time of his death. I truly desire to hear from anyone who may have been aquainted with my father, during his short stay in Vietnam. His relatives have shared a lot of information with me, but I have never spoken to anyone, who was actually there, with my father during his time in Vietnam. I can be contacted via email. My email address is ([email protected]), I truly desire to hear from anyone who actually was there with my father, in Vietnam. I am the only child of Linwood Holmes and all that I have to remember my father by, are a couple of pictures. There's such an empty space in my heart, because of the lack of closure, which I feel. I truly think to be able to hear some of his war stories from someone, who knows first hand, what he experienced, would truly put a closure to my pain. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sign,

Linwood's Little Girl (Kim)
