THE WALL OF FACES

Percy; You were a good friend and a great soldier. You had the greatest smile in the world. You would have been a great asset to your community. Strong with the courage of a lion, yet kind and good to your fellow Troopers. You were a great inspiration to me. God Bless and Rest in Peace, Trooper.
