THE WALL OF FACES

A week ago the traveling Vietnam Wall was at Veterans Museum in Columbus. I could feel you there with me as I remembered all the wonderful times we had together and thought about the future that was cut short because of the war. You will always be a part of me and never forgotten.

LCPL Douglas Barnitz was a 1967 graduate of Upper Arlington High School. His father was a retired LT. COL in the US Army.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

Visited you and your father today...put a flag on both of your graves.

You are not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.

It has been 50 years now. Your letters were filled with lots of excitement about coming home and starting a life together. Just two weeks left and you would be on that flight home, but that flight home was far different than we expected. Instead of tears of joy, it was tears of grief, heartbreak and the lose of someone dear. You have never left us, because we carry you in our hearts forever, but are very missed and time can’t erase that pain. Until we meet again, my Love.
