THE WALL OF FACES

Joseph is buried at Marietta National Cemetery.

Joe, I never knew you but someone very close to me did. He served with you and you were a good friend to him. His name is Clement, my older brother. I was only 11 or 12 when he was in Nam. Clement often speaks of you and what you meant to him in Nam. I am thankful that he did know you and I am glad he has such good friends today as Jack and others. I pray that you are in God's glorious hands. I also pray for all those soldiers of courage and valor whom you left behind. May the peace of Christ be with you and your fellow soldiers, now and forever.

Dear Joseph,
I'm Stephanie Hall from Gridley Illinois. I attend Gridley High School and I am posting remembrances for my World History class. I would like to thank you for serving for our country. You lost your life so we could have freedom. Thank you very much.
God Bless!
Stephanie Hall

Joe, I look at a photo I have framed above my desk everyday of you, Doc Braxton and Clement, and am reminded that we really did have some good times too. It also makes me feel honored and proud to have had all you guys for friends. Actually, "friends" would be an understatement for the relationship we all shared with each other. Talked to Clement the other day and was mentioning the fact that even though 33 years have passed,we're still here for each other. The day will come when we'll all be together again. Until then, rest well Brother. Jack

Thank you for serving with valor. America will forever in your debt. We will always remember your sacrifice.
