THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Specialist 4 Olson ~ You Are Not Forgotten!
This is the 3rd year, with the upcoming anniversary (May 21, 1971) of your passing, that I will run a mile with you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, dear brother.

Each year since September 2015, at the annual 5th Division Army reunion, members of the Society of the Fifth Division, U.S Army remember the 514 soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 5th Division, who were Killed in Action in Vietnam. You are among the soldiers remembered. You Are Not Forgotten!

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Dear Sp4 Jerome Olson, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman. I researched you on the 50th anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Washington’s birthday, and Lent has begun. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
