THE WALL OF FACES

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Dear PFC Richard Madden, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day just passed, and it is important to remember you. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Rest in peace sir, and birthday remembrance.. I am reminded of the song Green Fields of France when I think of all the tragic loss during your War. Ken Reid Ireland.
