THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC Rodger McElhaney, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. I researched you on your 51st anniversary, sad. 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.

I'll never forget you, my friend. You were such a great guy and it was a pleasure to serve with you. It also pains me that you were carrying my radio when you died and I couldn't be there with you. I was stuck at Gator healing from an injury and wished I could have been there for you.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

I never knew Roger but his twin sister is a friend of mine. His memory is kept alive by his family.

I served with Rodger in the Americal Division in July of 1969. I was involved in the battle that resulted in Rodger's untimely death. He was a friend and fellow soldier whose death had a profound effect on me, even to this day.

Rodger may you continue to RIP, my friend!
