THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Cliff and I were friends through Grammar and High School. I’ll never forget my buddy.

Dear PFC Clifford Parsons, Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist with the 1st Cavalry. The 51st anniversary of the start of your tour is soon. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Holy Week and Passover. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

On July 17, 1970, an M113 armored personnel carrier from E Troop, 1st Cavalry, 11th Infantry Battalion was on a search and clear mission about 7½ miles northwest of Quang Ngai Airfield when it detonated a concealed 250 lb. bomb. The blast killed six soldiers and wounded nine. The lost crewmen included vehicle commander PFC Peter P. Auletti, driver PFC Stephen W. Barnes, gunners PFC Clifford E. Parsons Jr. and PFC Paul L. Salerno, and passengers PFC Michael E. Baum and PFC Louis L. Zitterguen. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
