THE WALL OF FACES

SP5 Samuel Joseph Jorgensen is buried in Section B, Block 1, Lot 11, Grave 3 of the Riverview Cemetery in Chamberlain, SD.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I was a year behind Sam at Chamberlain High and sat by him in government class. Sam had no upper classman pretensions. He was everyone's friend. I didn't serve with Sam but followed him with my service in the Air Force. I'm glad to have been Sam's friend and proud that we both served in the US military. Rest easy, Sam. You honor us all.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Paul Williamson is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Reading your story, you sounded like one Helluva friend.

You are not forgotten.

HOOAH
