THE WALL OF FACES

The worst day of my life was when I lost Luna. We were both in the platoon headquarters and became very closed. I remember of a picture he showed me of his motorcycle. His sister had sent to him just before we lost him. He was very proud of his family. I lost him right in front of of my eyes along with Thomas Murray and Ralph Maney. I will never forget 3/22/68.

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Dear Sgt Robert Luna, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantry Direct Fire Crewman. Yesterday was your 74th birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. 45 years ago today was the last day of battle – Mayaguez Incident. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Correction: My brother, Robert, was with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, 3rd Battalion, 503rd Infantry, C Company. If anyone served with him, I would be interested in hearing from you. Linda Swezey at [email protected] Thank you.

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.
