THE WALL OF FACES

I had to identify his body at the dispensary. He was killed in town from a grenade thrown into a place he was at. Small piece of shrapnel pictured his heart. Only knew him for 7 days...

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Dear Pvt Jose Ortiz-Negron, I hope your photo is put here because this wall of faces needs yours too! Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. 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.

José Juan Ortíz Negrón was a Private in the United States Army. He died in the Vietnam War when he was just 20 years old.

He was killed in action in Vinh Long province, Vietnam. His name is engraved in Panel 38W, Line 51 in the Vietnam War Memorial Wall.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Jose.

If any Family members or Friends of Jose reads this. I am looking for a Picture of him to send to Washington DC. To put on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
It would be nice to have a Picture of him to put with his Name.
