THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. May you rest in eternal peace.

My sisters and brother were in school with Dave. I was a kid then but my sisters had a school year book. I remember looking at his picture of him with another fella both wrestlers at the time. I was sad and confused at the war and "why" was this happening. As a vet all I can say is Hand Salute and yes I visit your grave it is in the same cemetery as all my family, Mom and Dad both in WWII and when he was alive he should us where Dave was laid to rest.

Staff Sergeant David William Barrus was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, with Combat Distinguishing Device (V), for his exemplary gallantry in action. He was also awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Merit for his sustained meritorious service. He served as Infantryman and was assigned to A CO, 1ST BN, 501ST INFANTRY, 101ST ABN DIV.
