THE WALL OF FACES

Remember that day, watched Carl ship come out of that LZ leaking fuel, we flew cover until they could land in a safe place,heard that Carl had been hit in head, how blades was kicking up to much dust so we had to move away.

My thoughts are with you always

Remembering you on your birthday; you are not forgotten.
from your cousin, Arlene

I will never forget you
