THE WALL OF FACES

Our old friend,Mike Smith (also a Camp Lejeune alumni) sent this photo of you, me and Bennie Jones. You're the one on the far right. This was taken in Okinawa before shipping over to DaNang. We think of you often and wonder how the world might be different today if you hadn't left us way back in '69. Rest easy, my man.

I will always remember you and your friendship. You have a place in my heart and the hearts of many others that will live forever.

You are always in my thoughts and I will never forget our service together at Camp Lejune Naval Hospital and the friendshiup you provided.

As a fellow Buckeye, I say "THANK YOU"

As a Veteran, I say "JOB WELL DONE, DOC"

As an American, "YOUR DEATH WAS NOT IN VAIN"

And as a Believer, "YOUR SPIRIT IS ALIVE--AND STRONG"

Although we never met Mate, I want to thank you Doc Lucas, for your courageous service, faithful contribution, and most holy sacrifice, given to this great country of ours!

FAIR WINDS AND ETERNAL PEACE MY FRIEND

From Camp Lejune to VN together, you India Co. me Mike Co. I did everything I could to save you from the injuries you substained. I failed. Think of you offen. Hm3 Cortley F. Lottman, USNR.
