THE WALL OF FACES

I met Paul at Villanova. Spent many hours sitting in Pi shop with he and his buddies. But he was kind in a way that no one I had ever met was. It was deep inside him. It was who he was. Now I am old and have only met a few that equaled his depths. Thank you for being my friend.

My name is Robert Howard Potter and I have been teaching English at Canterbury School, for the past 30 years. Every fall, in your honor, I offer an elective course titled Literature of The Vietnam Conflict. As long as I teach students here in the classrooms where you once sat, I will try to help them understand the conflict that took your life. Rest in peace. You will always be remembered at Canterbury.

I server with Paul during the 77 day siege of Khe Sanh, he was a great Marine and his loss was tragic to all of us who served with him.

Dear Lt Paul McGrath, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Officer. Your 76th birthday just passed, happy birthday. 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.

.....and my thoughts still go back to you as a young man at Villanova. I'm an old man now and can understand the meaning of the phrase "the ultimate sacrifice." Your sacrifice meant people like me could live and love and enjoy grand kids in our old age. Miss you Paul. RIP.
