THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

It is with great respect and gratitude that I am honored to be reading Marlowe E Keels name on November 9, 2022, at the 40th Anniversary of The Reading of The Names at The Wall in DC. My brother Richard Sablotny was also KIA 10/27/1968 and was from Bedford Ohio. He served the Army 3/60th 9th Infantry. Honoring our men/women who served unselfishly and gave the ultimate sacrifice is the least we can do. I strive to ALWAYS REMEMBER, ALWAYS LOVE and NEVER FORGET those we lost so young. My prayers and love are with your family!

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Dear Sp4 Marlowe Keels, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Veterans’ Day weekend. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Marlowe is my oldest brother and I was young when I saw the soldiers approach my home to inform my parents of their loss. I remember a brother who only wanted to fight so his younger siblings did not have to go to war. The day of his death will be etched in my heart forever. I now live in another state, but make my yearly pilgrimage to place flowers on his grave and honor the bravery and the sacrifice of his life. he may be gone, but as long as I have breath, he will never be forgotten nor will I never forget the fallen soldiers that endured this heart wrenching war. My parents too are gone, but I know they are together with my brother again in heaven. Thanks to all who have remembered my brother and I wish you health and continued prosperity. America will always prosper when we have soldiers who fights that fight for its existence.
