THE WALL OF FACES

War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

Dear Lcpl Dan Moore, Thank you for your service as an Artillery Forward Observer, I researched you on your 52nd anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Thanksgiving is soon, happy Thanksgiving in heaven. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dan it has been 47 years since that night. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about what happened that night.

When Dan shipped over to VietNam, my then boyfriend Dennis Bounds brought Dan home for the weekends. We had some good times trying to make them leaving a little easier. I wrote to his girl back home for a while, but not too long after we lost him, the letters stopped. I think of Dan often and say a little prayer for him and his family!

Semper Fi, Marine.
