THE WALL OF FACES

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

An incredible friendly young man with a beautiful smile who I had the privilege & pleasure to serve with at Fort Lewis, Washington before he left for Vietnam. I think of him often

Second Lieutenant Earle John Bemis, Served with Advisory Team 84, Headquarters, Military Assistance Command Vietnam Advisors, Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV), United States Army Vietnam.

It is 50 years today. Earle is no longer here.
Earle moved to North Arlington, stayed a few years, and then moved.
How could this happen? Nobody came in... and then just left.
Earle was cheery about the whole thing. That was Earle.
He is remembered.

Excerpts from his obituary in the Atlanta Constitution June 11, 1969:
Lt. Bemis, who was to have been promoted to first lieutenant the day he was killed, was serving as an Army adviser in the Mekong Delta. He had been in Vietnam six and a half weeks.
He was a graduate of Sprayberry High School, where he was a member of the band and track team, and a graduate of North Georgia College with a degree in biology. He had taught a year at Jonesboro High School before entering the service.
