THE WALL OF FACES

Larry and I were friends before we were drafted. We went into the service together in Indianapolis IN. Our serial numbers were one number apart. We got the same orders every time. We Deployed to Viet Nam together. We were put in different Platoons 1/10 Cav. it was the first time we were not together. Last time I saw him was at the Bob Hope show 4th Inf. base camp Pleiku 12/25/67. We sat together and discussed going home together. He was killed 12/26/68

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

I stopped by your Grave Marker today, as a two year Veteran of Vietnam, I cleaned and restored Honor to your Marker as it should be. a Flag was placed, TAPS were Played, a 3 volley Salute, and a Slow Hand Salute were rendered. RIP my Brother, you will never be Forgotten.

Dear Sgt Larry Orcutt, Thank you for your service as an Armor Crewman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. 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.

May this day find you in the eternal Holy Kingdom!
