THE WALL OF FACES

As your Birthday passes again please know that I think of you often and the good times we did have together prior to us leaving for Vietnam. You are always in my Heart my Brother.

Hi Uncle Johnny,
I never met you but I’ve heard many great things about you. Thank you for fighting for us and our freedom. I hope you are happy wherever you are. My nana says hello and misses you so much.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Silver Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow soldiers. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear SSGT John Inguillo, Thank you for your service an Infantryman. Your 72nd birthday just passed, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was in same firefight in which John was Killed. I was riding behind his platoon when we were ambushed as we manuevered through a small hamlet. We were attempting to linkup with some of our sister companies who had made contact with an NVA group of undetermined size. After 3 hrs. of fierce fighting my group managed to extract itself from the ambush zone. For many years I was unaware that John had perished in the initial attack as my group got separated from his during the battle. I am proud to have served with John and will never forget that day. R.I.P my brother
