THE WALL OF FACES

Your 51st anniversary is soon, so sad.

Dear PO3C David Overstreet, Thank you for your service as a Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class with the 4th Marines, Semper Fi. Thank you for the lives you saved. 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.

Thank you Doc Overstreet for your courage and devotion to us, your Marines.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

During my ToD, I was in 1st Platoon, D 1/4. Shortly after my arrival I volunteered to carry the radio for the platoon, this put me in the platoon HQ section, where I met 'Doc'. When on patrols and in our fighting positions, we shared foxholes and bunkers. When I was wounded on FSB Argonne, by shrapnel from mortar rounds, it was 'Doc' who patched me up. On another occasion while on patrol, we were walking down a river, about waist high depth, when I slipped on the moss covered rocks. This sent me to the bottom where I struggled with my pack and radio to get back to the surface, it was 'Doc' who reached under water and helped me to the surface, as we always walked near each other while on patrols.
