THE WALL OF FACES

I just arrived in Country and was assigned to your squad. I had only been in country when the company was assigned to cross the river at night to begin the sweep across part of the Arizona Territory, I remember you whistling the tune The Land of Dixie, when we came under fire, you was to my left and went over to you and yelled for a Corpsman and stayed with you till the Medevac took you away. I never really got to know you, but heard a lot about you from one of your home town friend (Sgt. Griffin). I still wish things didn't happen the way they did because we could of shared all the mischief we had done in our home towns. Forever your Marine Brother

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 74 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

I remember this happening. I was in H.S. Lennie with your sister Laurie in Alta Loma, Ca. I had just lost my brother in 1967 and Laurie was in my other brother's class. We were ALL so devastated hearing this sad news about Lennie. The Rose garden memorial at the H.S. in Alta Loma( near Cucamonga) was a wonderful tribute to all who served and died for our country. Thank you Lennie for your sacrifice. I often wonder how your sister Laurie is doing. All those in our high school spoke so fondly of you, Lennie. Well deserved and beautiful memories.

Dear Lcpl Leonard Nyberg, Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. The 51st anniversary of the start of your tour just passed. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another cold winter day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
