THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Karen Barrett Craig are especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever...

It's been over 50 years since I last saw your young face . And you passed through my mind today . How can that be? I do not know . Looking back it's an Honor to have walked the same tile hallways as you as a schoolboy.
