THE WALL OF FACES

Specialist Four Douglas James Beveridge, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 6th Battalion, 84th Artillery Regiment, 41st Artillery Group, First Field Force, United States Army Vietnam.

I did not personally know Doug but his sister Marcia live next door to me in Freeport Long Island New York. I am also a Vietnam vet that served 67 to 68 So we are brothers who served in hell at the same time. I have paid visits to Doug on the wall in D

Doug and I were close friends. He had this "tough guy" demeanor to some but he was really a kind and gentle person. We used to go to Methodist Youth Group on Sunday nights and afterwards would cruise around town and end up at McDonalds. In the summers we would sneak into the drive-in movies were always on the lookout for girls. He was an amazing dancer and a gifted artist, but mostly just a great guy. Rest in peace my friend.

DEAR SPEC 4 DOUGLAS BEVERIDGE,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A RADIO OPERATOR WITH THE ARTILLERY. IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG FOR ALL OF YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE. MANY OF US HAVE BEGUN OUR JOURNEY TO EASTER. YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS.

I was a friend of Doug's during our high school days. He was a truly good person. To this day, whenever I hear or read anything about he Viet Nam war I think about Doug. Thank you for your service Doug. You made the ultimate sacrifice and you will never be forgotten.
