THE WALL OF FACES

I sat next to Pat in home room for all four years. A great guy, always cheerful, fun to be with. What a shame getting killed in that place, just a nightmare. I know because I was there too only further south than he.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Lcpl Patrick McBride, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but our world needs help. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Still missing you after all these years.

Lance Corporal Patrick Eugene McBride, Served with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 26th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
