THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.

Although we knew each other only a short time, SSG Dennis Lindsay was my best friend in Viet Nam. He had volunteered for a 2nd tour. He was the Company Clerk for Company B Medical, 173rd Airborne Brigade at Landing Zone (LZ) English - near Bong Song, RVN.

For 9 of my 12 months, I was detailed to LZ Uplift, south of English. On the morning of that day in 1969, I flew back to English from a country-wide drug abuse conference held in Nha Trang. I stopped and talked to Dennis for a while, then hitched a ride back to Uplift.

That afternoon, we learned that Co B came under mortar and rocket attack. Dennis was killed.
