THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Katherine M is poignant and reflects her admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear Lt William Menconi, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was POW/MIA Recognition Day, and today is the first day of autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear 2LT William Lee Menconi, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

I was one of Bill's roommates in the 4th platoon of our OCS company. I was so sorry to have read about his loss in the Stars and Stripes back in 69. He was a great man.

Along with SGT Ken Locke I also served with Lt. William Menconi in Fort Benning, GA Co. E, 6th Bn, 2nd Tng Brigade, until he left for service in VietNam. We were all stricken with grief when we heard of his death. To this day I remember him fondly as a good leader and a good man. This Memorial Day I honor his sacrifice and memory.
