THE WALL OF FACES

I didn’t know Frank, but know of his ultimate sacrifice as well as over 58,000 others.
I am a fellow Vietnam veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division. We lost fellow soldiers also.

Our names are similar so I wanted to say thank you and pray for us from Heaven.

Buona Pasqua Paisan,

John Marcon

To you sir, thank you for your sacrifice and for the sacrifice your family has endured all these years by losing you. You were 19 when you died and would be 70 if you were alive today. I did not know you but we share the same last name. I saw your name on The Wall in Washington.

Dear Sp4 Frank Marconi, Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Flag Day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear SP4 Frank Joseph Marconi, 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

Frank is buried at Mt Hope Cemetery in Hastings on Hudson, NY. BSM PH
