THE WALL OF FACES

I was only 7 yrs old when we lost you. I remember our mom's sending you care packages. The first time I saw your name on the Vietnam Memorial I wept because I missed you so much. I will never forget you.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Dawn Debord Watson are touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Jeff and I started school together in 4th grade, was at my elementary school birthday parties, he threw up in the school bus on our 5th grade trip to the U.N. in New York.
After all these years I finally got up the strength to see and touch his name on the memorial. I'm almost 70 but the emotions never go away.
God bless you Jeffery.
