THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your sisters Barbara and Phyllis are moving and reflect their eternal love for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I remember Rich from school. From Nitchman to Votech. I remember him fondly as a kid as we were all then, as a guy that could find humor in anything. When I was home on leave I was walking down New St. towards Goepp St. and I thought I would yell to him to get his attention... he looked like he was headed someplace in a hurry so I thought I wouldn't bother him thinking that I would see him later. Is something that I still regret to this day, because I never did get to talk with him. Who would have thought when two young boys were acting so silly and goofing around so long ago, one of them would continue to carry those memories even to this day. I am now a president of a veterans museum in Ohio. Rich's HS graduation picture and those of seven other members of the class of 1965 that gave their lives in Vietnam will hang on my office wall shortly. God bless them all and I pray that God continues to bless the United States of America.

Dear PFC Richard Lynn, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day is this weekend, 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.

Private First Class Richard Robert Lynn, Served with Company C, 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 11th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division.

I pray America never forgets this war and all the pain and suffering it has caused so many. All the broken lives…all the broken families…all the broken people…all the loved ones lost. I pray God takes care of those lost too soon and those that still carry a promise to never forget. To all of those still suffering, it is my hope you find the inner strength to ease the pain. As for me…I will never forget. I will always remember. I miss you always.
