THE WALL OF FACES

Dear GySgt James McClelland, Thank you for your service as a Machinist. 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.

You gave your life in the military for your country. I am trying to find a picture to post on this wall to honor you, but even if I can't find the picture, you are still remembered. God Bless you always.

Semper Fi Gunny.

Dear GSGT James Richard McClelland, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Sergeant McClellabnd, your sacrifice was not in vain. We are still the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. I believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I admire as one of my three top somngbirds (along with Julie Andrews and Dusty Springfield), would be proud of you and your service to our country in the defense of freedom. SEMPER FI!!!!!!!
