THE WALL OF FACES

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.

On the remembrance of your 72nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Dear Lcpl Larry Lyle, Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. 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.

Larry, I remember when you sat across the isle from me in study hall. You could never be quiet, and you always brought a smile to my face.

You were one of the first to die in Viet Nam from "our" era. And from standing at the grave site the day you were buried till now, it's still hard to believe.

Thank you for your service and for your sacrifice.
You are missed.

Semper Fi, Marine.
