THE WALL OF FACES

Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was.

You have been on my mind a lot lately so just wanted to post a remembrance. Rest in peace soldier.

David and I met on January 1967 at Ft. Gordon Ga. B co 8th Bn 3rd Bde. I remember that he flew to Kansas to see his newborn child. Only I new about his trip.Then we went to airborne school in Ft Benning Ga. After graduation we went to Ft. Bragg Nc. He went to B company and I to C 3/503. The unit deployed to VietNam in Oct 1967 as part of the 173rd Abn Bde. I did not find out until March of 68 that I had lost him . We spoke often about his new born in early 1967. While at Ft, Gordon , he had the top bunk and I had the bottom bunk. He would carry the company guide on , I would carry the the first aid kit. On the 45th company airborne yearbook. My student number was 110. I forgot his student number. It still hurts that he is gone. His son must be in his early 50s., I stayed in service and retired as a Command Sergeant Major.

Dear Sp4 David Ogle, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman. Your 73rd birthday is in 2 days, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Presidents’, and Valentine’s Days just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

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