THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who served with you are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dan, I think fondly when we were in OCS during a field problem and it went "admin" for a short time. They brought in beer for us and I smile as I recall how excited you became and how you almost cried when you said "I love beer!" I will always remember you and our other classmates who gave their lives in that distant land and who will forever be "20 something." RIP my BROTHER.

Dear Lt Daniel Lloyd, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Today is your 75th birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another spring, but like none other. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Daniel.

dan and i went through basic. at and infantry ocs, the4 latter at fort benning. i remember him well. i especially remember a conversation we had one evening in ocs. as with all of us, dan had reached the bottom of his emotional well. we discussed his options: quitting or hanging on until things got better. quitting meant likely being posted to the old guard in washington dc or being posted to germany. in the end dan decided to stick it out. the guilt i carry for that conversation has remained with me. i wish i had persuaded dan to quit. but we were surrounded by "what if's". a good, gentle man, lost
