THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your friends attest to their love and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

Donnie so many years have passed since West Miami Junior High School and we were young guys struggling to find our way in life. I remember the day when coach Silva at West Miami Jr High had the class knocking out push ups and when everyone else had quit, but you and I continued until coach Silva gave up because he realized we would never quit. That's how I have remembered you my entire life, a guy who wouldn't quit. Our lives followed a similar path, you into the Corps and me into the Army Rangers. We both served in Vietnam, you near the DMZ and me in the Central Highlands as a LRRP. The years have passed, but even after junior high which seems like a hundred years ago, combat in Indochina, you Donnie, were a great and honorable person. Sua Sponte my friend and brother in arms, I will see you on the high ground.

Will always remember you & our special friendship. Thank you for your sacrifice. Your life was so short.
Miss you.
