THE WALL OF FACES

I have never heard your name before but I feel everyone here needs some acknowledgement of their ultimate sacrifice for our country. You died much too young. You had a life that deserved many more years. You left behind people who loved you and who, I imagine still feel
the pain of your loss to this day. I hope they have comfort in knowing you are at rest and that they will someday see you again in a much better place.

Your courage and efforts in Viet Nam will never be forgotten in my heart and in a multitude of others who have the utmost respect and honor for the soldiers who lost their lives there.

In peace always

Mel, you were a good childhood friend, with a great amount of intelligence and curiousity about what wer
were about to enter in the "adult world". You had aspirations and I am so very sorry that you never
had the opportunity to realize your dreams. I am so sure that you would have lead such a successful
rewarding life. It is such a shame. I am hoping that there is a life hereafter, and you are enjoying it,
you deserve to
