THE WALL OF FACES

As a Woburn boy, I'd like Charlie's family to know that he is not forgotten and I thank him for his service and sacrifice

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from William Bonnell is touching and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Remembering you and those who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War. This year makes 50 years since America left Vietnam, but the time that you and those we lost have been gone seems so much longer.

With respect, always.

We can tell Memorial Day is coming with the wreaths that hang on front doors, and the small red, white, and blue American flags that line the grass covered graves of the Veterans’ cemeteries all acrosse America. One of those graves is yours, and we honor your life and your memory on this Memorial day.

May we never forget your example and the true cost of our freedoms. You with those who love you paid that cost, and America will be forever indebted.

With respect, always.

Charlie, I have often thought of you over these many years. It’s true that the good die young! Memories of you on our Boys and Girls club basketball team the “fighting Irish”. Memories of watching you swim competitively. I was at your memorial service when you finally came home, and I had just returned from Paris Island, SC myself had enlisted in USMC not long after your death. I honor you with this remembrance.
