THE WALL OF FACES

There are those we have met, and those we have not, that have shaped the lives we lead. I inherited your name, which is a tribute to you from my mother and father. I have tried to wear it well and keep your memory as vibrant and true as the legacy you have left. I have thought of you often, of the man you were, of the life you lived, and strive to maintain your good name. To all those that have served, thank you. For all that have given their lives, the debt is insurmountable. Love you and miss you.

You were a great brother having raised me since I was 7yrs old. Your passing broke my heart but I know you had to go and serve. You wouldn"t have had it any other way.I will keep your memory alive with me forever. Love you and miss you. Your youngest- Winky

Francis is buried at Long Island Nat Cem.

WE STILL REMEMBER. Your Officer Candidate School classmates from the "Better than Best" 91st Company. Gallagher's Gryffins. Infantry Officer Class 42-67, Fort Benning, Georgia, 5 February 67 to 21 July 67. WE SALUTE YOU.

I never had a chance to meet you but I have been thinking of you a lot over the past couple of weeks since Grandpa P died this February. I know you were there waiting for him, and how happy Grandpa must have been to see you again after waiting so long for you to come home...
