THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. May you rest in eternal peace.

Captain Gerald David Berger, Served with the Mortar Battery, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

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 attended St. John's Lutheran College in Winfield, Kansas, with Jerry in '62-'63. We chummed for that year, often double dating, sometimes going to Topeka. I loved hanging out listening to him play his guitar. What a terrible loss. Joe, i read your remembrance. It was beautiful. I'm sure there is nothing to forgive, but if there were, Jerry would have tossed it to the furthest ends of the heavens. I pray you can do that for yourself. God is good.

DEAR CAPTAIN BERGER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A FIELD ARTILLERY OFFICER. ARTILLERYMEN WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL TO ME. IT IS 2017, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. IT IS ALSO PRESIDENTS' DAY WEEKEND. 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 ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.
