THE WALL OF FACES

There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.

It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.

I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.

There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.

But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.

I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.

They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.

Terry was 2 days older than me. We went to Yokohama High together & met again in Williamsburg, VA. I served in the 101st, like Terry, a year after he was killed in action. He was good friend & a good guy. I'll never forget him

Lived near and went to Yokohama High School with Terry. Always smart, always offbeat. He would ride his bicycle nine miles to school while we all rode on the Navy bus. Everyone else was buying a simple, little Honda motorcycle, he bought a rare Lilac (Marusho) 500cc bike. He has remained one of the characters in my life and one who I honor in my prayers.

Dear Lt Terry Palm, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Lent, and today is S. Pat’s. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
