THE WALL OF FACES

Charles,
Although we never met, you were my brother. I pray that you are at rest and in the Hands of The Lord. May God Bless You Brave Marine.

Dear CPL Charles McMahon Jr, sir,

Remembering you and those you served with on this Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2017 You are not and will not be forgotten.

With respect,

So you have the distinction of being one of the last casualties of the Vietnam War. I honestly don't know if that's a blessing or a curse. I do know that you should be remembered for your service and sacrifice, like the 58,000 plus Americans before you. Thank you for serving your country.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF THESE FINE YOUNG
UNITED STATES MARINES
WHOSE NAMES SHALL LIVE FOREVER MORE

=========================

Thinking about you today. Told your story to a co-worker. Wanted you to know you are not forgotten. I think about all the what ifs and my head spins. You are a hero and I tell my boys all about you and what a great man you were. Your pic still hangs at the Woburn Boys and Girls club and they are so proud to let everyone know you are their great uncle. Rest easy Uncle Charlie
