THE WALL OF FACES

Not enough room to write about so many memories. March 6 1971 George and I should have been in Sydney, we put off our R&R as both our units were staying behind as the Cav stood down to one Brigade. Not a day goes by when I don't think about that decision. See you soon Buddy.....

Wishing my husband's First Lieutenant George C Bass a Happy Heavenly Birthday. We remembered him today with many stories of their time together in Vietnam. My husband (David Burt) was the radio man for Lt. Bass and loved him like a brother.

The "Friends of Rocky Versace" remember one of Rocky's fellow alumni from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point - and a brother Airborne-Ranger - 1LT George Clinger Bass, USMA Class of 1969, on what would've been his 71st birthday - 8 March 2018.

First Lieutenant George Clinger Bass, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.

DEAR LIEUTENANT BASS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN INFANTRY UNIT COMMANDER WITH THE 1ST CAVALRY. THIS WAS THE UNIT OF A FRIEND'S BROTHER. SAY HI TO MIKE IN HEAVEN. THANKS FOR BEING A WEST POINT GRADUATE TOO,

WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE. ADVENT IS HERE, AND CHRISTMAS IS APPROACHING. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU. THE NEW YEAR IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.
