THE WALL OF FACES

As your 74th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Rest in eternal peace.

I was just a few yards from you when your young life was snuffed out, I was just over the top of the hill from you and therefore spared being wounded. I will always remember that day and time, rest easy Brother until Valhalla.

DEAR PFC ADAMSON,
LIKE SO MANY GRUNTS, YOU GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THIS NATION. BUT, YOU WERE ONLY 18! HOPE SOMEONE POSTS A PHOTO OF YOU.
REST IN PEACE.
SEMPER FI,

PFC Frank L. Adamson was a rifleman serving with M Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. On June 24, 1965, his unit was in the field, having been choppered to a location about 3 miles from Phu Bai Airfield in Thua Thien Province, RVN. After conducting patrols and night ambushes, PFC Adamson’s company was preparing a position on Hill 96 when they set off a booby-trapped 60mm mortar shell. PFC Adamson was fatally injured in the blast and four other marines were wounded. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
