THE WALL OF FACES

The guys at Tiverton Rhode Island Fire Department have never forgotten you and I have never forgotten watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan with you and your folks in 64'.

I remember the day we left for Vietnam September 7,1966 who knew you would get killed on September 7,1967 . I’m writing this on September 7,2020 it’s been 53 years You are still in my heart and mind,I will be with you some day Rest In Peace your child hood friend and fellow Marine Richard H LaCroix

I dropped my van off for service today and decided to walk home. I walked over a bridge Rt. 24 RI in Tiverton RI and never realized that James Lewis was Tiverton RI first casualty in the Vietnam war. Rest in peace.

Dear Cpl James Lewis, Thank you for your service as a Antitank Assaultman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Spring! It is Holy Thursday, and Passover. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I will never forget the traumatic day with I 3/26 when we lost
James and several other Marines near Con Thien. What brave me we had and I am proud to have called them brothers.
