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….

SSGT Gannon C. Milby is buried at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Easton, MD.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Dear Ssgt Gannon Milby, Thank you for your service as a Personnel Specialist with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Although I was very young when you left this earth, there are memories that I carry with me every day of my life. Sadly, they include hearing Mom-Mom's screams when she learned of your passing and the twenty-one gun salute at your burial. I sometimes wish I had more joyous memories of your life in Cordova with Aunt Ethel, Uncle Gannon and Donnie to hold onto...
