THE WALL OF FACES

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

Private First Class Gordon William Bent, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Gordy was a great guy... I was already half in love with him and his photo still sits next to my bed and I think of him so much... it was so unfair to lose such a person

DEAR PFC BENT,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMOR CREWMAN. IT IS 2017, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.

Your loss was so devastating to your loved ones, but through them you have lived on. Your service and sacrifice is remembered with pride. Stories of your life have educated young people and helped those of us who never met you feel like we knew you. I have no doubt that you watch over Kelly and Reality.

You may not be here in the physical world, but your life goes on. Thank you for your courage and sacrifice. We will always remember
