THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your friend Mearl Harris is especially touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.

Staff Sergeant Charles Ray Berry, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

On behalf of all the paratroopers who served with you in the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and all who followed, we offer our respect and remembrance of your ultimate sacrifice. May you never be forgotten and your family and friends take comfort in your valor in serving.

The Berrys & my family lived in Sunset Terrace in Wichita Falls, Tx. Chuck & I went to Hirschi High School together & graduated in 1965. That fall we entered Midwestern University & pledged Phi Sigma Kappa. We fished, we doubled dated, had a garage apartment briefly, water skied, drank a lot of beer & alcohol, laughed so hard & cried with Vietnam & the "draft" ever so ominous. The Berry family was my family, Mr. Berry was the Father I wanted and the Father, Spouse, Friend, Neighbor, Human Being I've aspired to be. No words can express how much the Mr. & Mrs. Berry, Kenny & Chuck meant to me. I will cherish their love eternally...
