THE WALL OF FACES

I remember you from high school and the day they announced your lose over the address system. I will always remember you.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Thomas Harrison is touching and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I would only turn 7 later that year when we learned of your passing. I do remember being tossed in the air & caught by you when I was very young. I also remember that day we arrived at Pop Pop & Nana’s to see the Marines walking out of their house to bring the terrible news. I would like to thank you and my other uncles and cousins who all served.

I remember when you would baby sit my brother and myself good times for sure. I also remember when that marine car stopped in front of Nana and pop pops house and a marine chaplain got out . My grandmother ( nana ) fell to the floor. I was 13 at the time. Half the family was there. It was a stunningly sad moment for all there. Thank you Albert for the memories I do have. Miss you buddy . Your nephew Paul.

53 years today. Miss you Al
