THE WALL OF FACES

I miss you my Brother and I have done everything to make sure that you will never be forgotten. You now have a bridge named for you in our hometown of Bristow, Oklahoma and it makes me proud each time I cross it, it also make me miss you each time I cross. You were my hero even before Vietnam but now you're also our country's hero as well. Thank you for the beautiful few years that we spent together, I was only 8 years old but I've cherished you memory for over 56 years at the time of the submission. Rest well Dear Brother until we meet again. HOOAH !!!

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

I never met you as I was only 3 years old when you were taken home. However, your service and ultimate sacrifice will not ever be forgotten. While at Wichita State University in the 80s I was for some unknown reason,pulled to take a look at the traveling Vietnam Wall before I went to my dorm. At that time i was not even aware of your service. Out of the many names on the wall I was divinely led directly to your name and was astonished. After confirming with dad you were indeed family I was filled with a mix sadness but also a feeling of thanks to a family hero I will never forget.

Dear PFC John Laskey, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Field Artillery Basic. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. For many of us, we have begun Lent. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.
