THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your friend Robert Cusick are touching and reflect his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Cpl Donald Miller, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Columbus Day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Donnie your time on earth was short but oh how loved were you. Thank you for being strong and answering the call and not running of to safety. Your memory lives on although most of your family is gone. Remembering you every Memorial Day with thanks.

SGT Juan A. Elias and PFC Donald Miller were members of E Company (LRRP), 52nd Infantry, 1st Cavalry Division. On May 21, 1968, their team was rigging a grenade as a booby trap on an enemy trail in Thua Thien Province, RVN, when it accidentally exploded, fatally injuring PFC Miller and seriously wounding SGT Elias. Elias was evacuated to a naval hospital ship where he succumbed to his wounds on May 29, 1968. A third member of the team, SGT Larry Curtis, lost an eye in the incident. Donald Miller was posthumously promoted to corporal by the Army. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and wikipedia.org]

Thinking of you and your family.
