THE WALL OF FACES

My name is Specialist Rivera (originally drafted from Queens, Ny and then living in Puerto Rico). I was a medic in Company B. I was there when this happened and rendered aid to several brothers under fire for which I received several commendations. I think I remember your relative SP5 Thomas Barr and others. He was one of several heroes that evening. Thank you for memorializing your relative and the event.

Thank you for your service.

I am honored to read these messages, and stories of a distant relative. Thanks all for the messages and stories, I would like to hear more, if ok. My uncle Gilbert S. Barr is a Vietnam War veteran. I was never born to meet Thomas, but thanks all for the stories.

I served with Thomas

Please excuse if this is a duplicate message. I was in contact with his family years ago. We were together that night and I escorted his body to graves registration. I would be happy to communicate with any questions I might be able to answer. It’s hard to believe it’s been 52 years. We met as strangers and served as brothers. Rest easy my friend, see you on the other side.

Hi….Bill Phillips here

Wow, it’s been a long time since I communicated with the family. I was proud to serve with Thomas, and escorted his body to graves registration. Please feel free to write me and maybe I can answer some questions. I remember him standing in top of a bunker singing, out of tune, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. See you on the other side my brother.
