THE WALL OF FACES

Fremont High School, Oakland, CA 1964

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 73 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Hello Uncle Larry,
I was only 9 months old when your life was taken much too soon, but my mom, your sister who you were very close to in age and as siblings has made sure we all know you. It is with sadness that I never got to know you in person, I know I would have adored you based on the stories my mom has shared.
Thank you for your service and know that you will never be forgotten.
Much Love,
Your First Born Niece,
Helen Black
