THE WALL OF FACES

Roger...Honoring your on your birthday.......God Bless

Rodger and I were in MCB5 together after we finished BU A school.We went to Camp Pendleton for training. He loved to surf.He would disappear every free weekend to ride the eaves.He was generous to his family.As I remember, he sent money home to help his mother, and siblings.It seems she wasn't in good health.And the military wouldn't let get out to care for them.We had a memorial service Roger at Dong Ha and was a very sad day.He was the nicest guy in our company! See you again someday, Roger

Roger was timeless. He was a young man with so much heart. I loved his shy smile. He was so real and down to earth. Roger was a gentleman. He told me stories one night at my house when I was lying on the couch. He put a blanket on me. He sat on a chair smoking his pipe and as I was falling off to sleep he told me of his grandfather and the sea.
I felt his light touch on my head and heard him say, in his calm
Country-like voice, “Ata girl, you go to sleep now.”
I will always remember your kind and cute smile.
I love you Roger. ??????

I ONLY KNEW ROGER FOR A FEW YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT THEY WERE GREAT YEARS WITH A GREAT AND KIND FRIEND. NEVER WILL I FORGET THE NIGHT ON THE BEACH WITH ROGER AND HIS GUINNESS STOUT, DRANK WARM FROM THE FIRE WE HAD ERECTED. GREAT TIMES, GREAT FRIEND. YOU ARE MISSED EVERY DAY ROGER.

Dear Roger
You will stay in my heart forever.
You were so gentle, sincere and caring
You had such an innocence
you were truly one of a kind
Still miss and love you
