THE WALL OF FACES

...that was with HM3 Krist when he died...Thanks for your service. You were 18 years-old, you do not need to apologize for not replying sooner. You were in a place that was Hell on earth, you have seen things that 99% of us will never ever see. We appreciate you for letting us know what happened.

And to HM3 Krist...Semper Fi, Doc...your marines appreciate your effort

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Silver Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow marines. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

As your 77th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

"Greater love hath no man, than that man lay down his life for a friend."

Semper Fi, Doc

Dear PO3C Matthew Krist, Thank you for your service as a Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class with the 3rd Marine Regiment. Semper Fi. Thank you for the lives you saved. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Valentine’s Day, Happy Valentine’s Day. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was the wounded marine Matt tried to help. Matt was shot and fell on my chest . Matt died immediately , did not suffer , and didn’t die alone , he died with me . This may be 55 years to late, I have no excuse for it . I was 18 years old at the time at the time it’s still difficult. I’m sorry.
