THE WALL OF FACES

Remember you well. I took this picture in Dec. '68 at the "Alamo" the French house at the east end of the Anderson Trail at Hwy #1 . Just East of Bn. HQ. I was a Corpsman with 1st Platoon. Became Delta Co. senior Doc in Feb.'69.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your friend Steve Thomasson are touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Lance Corporal Roy Grant Barnette, Served with the 1st Platoon, Company D, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

DEAR LANCE CORPORAL BARNETTE,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MACHINE GUNNER. SEMPER FI. HATE THAT YOU DIED IN THE SAME MONTH AS YOUR BIRTH. SIGH. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE. THANKSGIVING DAY IS HERE, AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE..

Roy another year has gone by and wish you could have been here to enjoy it with me. I was back home last year and stopped by the home place to see your brother Jim, he is doing pretty good. We had a long talk about the good ole days in the little town of Sharon, SC. When I left he gave me some pictures and I will always keep them, I could never forget you and the good times we had, Rest In Peace, love you!
