THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 73 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Time goes by so quickly, dear George, but memories still remains. Even if you're not here physically anymore you will be forever remembered and missed so much. Have a great heavenly day up above among the angels!

I meant George at WCHS on the football field during hell week. Losing him really brought the war home. I still think about him every now and then,not sure why. Being a veteran is something that instills a life long connection all vets. George was taken home with others out of harms way, way too soon. I pray for all the fallen heroes and their families. God bless them.

For us grunts who made it home we are forever indebted to our brothers who gave us the gift of another day. I played football with George at WCHS and have a rubbing transfer of his name from the Vietnam memorial wall along with three other hero’s that I served with. Thank you just isn’t enough for the gift of my life.

On this sad day my mind keeps going back but my heart is still clung to your memory. Forget is not possible, you'll always be here.
