THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Juan Mina, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Halloween is the end of this week, Happy Halloween. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear Uncle Juan,
How I wish I could have met you. My mom has missed you everyday. You were her best friend. I only have one photo of you and my brothers resemblance to you is unreal. You have always been a special place in my heart and I am profoundly proud of you. You were taken to soon and forever missed. I love you Uncle Juan.

Juan and I served together in CAP Delta 5. He was a great Marine and a good friend. He loved his home town and talked of it often. He also talked about a trip to Alaska and the fun he had there. I was the Corpsman for the unit and treated his wounds. We were all shocked to hear he had died a week later. He is missed by all. Simper If my friend.

Grade school seems so far away now. You were a great guy growing up and I will always remember you.
