THE WALL OF FACES

This is Michael D. Keogh, Martin Jerome Keogh’s cousin. I cried like a baby when they played taps at your funeral. I still feel guilty that I didn’t serve, and you gave your life for the rest of us.

No really correctly, poignant words to describe the painful sorrow we felt, while Taps were being played.

You should have lived. You were the best of what a Keogh always wants to be:

A quiet hero. Thank you for being a member of my/our family.

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

Dear Lt Martin Keogh, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Thanksgiving, so this is the perfect time to say thanks. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

We became good friends during Basic training at Ft.Dix starting in July 1968.

Thought he went to school at Villanova but not sure.Often thought about him

over the years....great guy and so sorry.

My daughter Carly Keogh and I, Steve, visited the memorial in July and were saddend that there are two Keogh's that did not survive the fight in Vietnam. We are so gratefu, for their sacrifice and pray their families have healed from their certain grief.
