THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for giving your life for our country. I'm the daughter of Patrick Eugene Hosler and I'm sad to say I never met my grandfather. He died 17 years before I was born.

Thank you Uncle Gene for your bravery and sacrifice, I was only 6 mos old when you left us, but have heard many stories about you from mom. Particularly you catching the kids that would jump from the second story into your arms. I am sorry to have never met you, but I will in the end. God Bless, and thank you for your service.

Brother Franklin, you have met your “Rendezvous with Destiny”! We will never forget the sacrifice you made.

Above The Rest!
Your 327th Brothers http://screamingeagles-327thvietnam.com

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Mary Frye – 1932

Soldier, you have carried the weight of a lifetime on your shoulders. You have my admiration and my respect. It took an amazing amount of bravery to give what you have sacrificed for America, thanks. I am a junior at Gridley High School working on a school project to honor all the fallen heroes of Vietnam. You and your peers are not forgotten. It is a pleasure to post this humble thank you note for you, Franklin. God bless
