THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. We should be forever thankful for the sacrifices of you and so many others to ensure the freedoms we so often take for granted.

Captain Edward Francis Miles, Served with Advisory Team 43, Headquarters, Military Assistance Command Vietnam Advisors, Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV).

Dear Captain Edward Miles, Thank you for your service as an Operations & Training Staff Officer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I think of Ed Miles often. Our families were close friends and we referred to him as Eddie. Time stopped when he was hit in Vietnam, laughing and good times stopped. I had the honor of taking him home from Fort Devon, Mass. He is still with me. Jay G.

A wonderful memory I have of sailing his Dad’s “Lightning” during a race on Manhasset Bay. I distinctly remember us almost capsizing when we attempting to set the spinnacker. We had a wonderful time that particular summer. I am disappointed that we lost contact, especially since I now realize we were both “in country” Vietnam, at the same time. It is my loss!

Ed, forgive me for not being there for you! I also have become very anti-war unless absolutely necessary.

Thank you for having been my friend! I a proud to have known you.
