THE WALL OF FACES

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

Dear Lcpl William Montano, Thank you for your service as Rifleman. I researched you on the 50th anniversary of your injury, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Veterans’ Day is tomorrow, and today, the birthday of the Marine Corps. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

On the remembrance of your 69th Birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Semper Fidelis Lance Corporal Montano.
