THE WALL OF FACES

David J Lehman was my big brother. He will always be remembered for his bravery, his loving ways and his kindness. David loved to fish to play the drums and was the life of every party. We miss David but we are left with fun memories , remembering that smile and those gorgeous green eyes. To his family he was bigger than life and often think how different our lives would have been if he had made it home from his 3rd tour of duty. He also left behind an older sister, Bonnie, mother, Hennie, father David Jr Lehman, many cousins and friends.
David we are proud of you, we miss you and love you very very much. ??

Dear EN2 David Johan Lehman III, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

On this your angel day I wanted to express my gratitude to you for your service to our country and for the greatest sacrifice any man can make – your precious life.



Many have said that the Vietnam War was a pointless war and that the loss of your life was in useless and at one point in time it may have seemed so, but I do not feel that this is true now.



Your service and sacrifice have not been in vain, but has been a source of healing and hope. This is signified in all the messages left by the youth of our nation on this sacred site. I read their comments and know that you are not forgotten by them and that you and your brothers-in-arms will be an influence for good for generations to come.



I will always remember you and the others on The Wall. You are not and never will be just names etched into a piece granite and I will do my utmost best to never to forget you and to do all that I can do to keep your memory alive. Even if it is just to leave a message here on your remembrance page on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site. This is my promise to you and the others.



Rest well now and know that you are always remembered by this humble American.

god bless you brother,i was with you that day. i will never forget you.

David is buried at Golden Gate Nat Cem.
