THE WALL OF FACES

Richie, I think of you every year, on your birthday, on the day you died, on every holiday celebrating our vets, our heroes, and the reason our country is so great. I think of you and wonder how things could have turned out. Sadly missed by your loving brothers and sisters, Phyllis, Bev, Rob, Barb and Ray. RIP

Dear PFC Richard Robert Lynn, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

For The Gridley High School Posting Project we are posting remembrances for veterans of Vietnam that don’t have postings on the virtual wall in order to show our appreciation for the sacrifice you paid for every one of us, and for your country. Thank you.
