THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC Edward Joseph Piantkowski, sir.

As the American flag in our front yard flaps in the breeze, as my wife finishes the wreaths she makes for every Memorial Day, we have most of what we need to observe this Memorial Day. Yet, what we need most would be to have you and those whose names are inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall with yours to be here as well. May we never forget the cost of our freedoms, and the men and women who have and continue to step forward to keep America safe.

With respect, sir.

Dear PFC Edward Joseph Piantkowski, sir

Remembering you and those you served with on this upcoming Memorial Day holiday, Monday, May 28, 2018 You are not and will not be forgotten.

May my family and I never, ever forget the price that has been paid for the freedoms we have in this country- and may your family, friends, and fellow vets know Americans will always care.

With respect, Sir

Although over fifty years have passed our love for you has not diminished. Thank you for your dedication to our country and for our freedom on behalf of our family and a grateful nation.

Hello Edward. I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to meet you. I have been a member of your extended family for quite a while now and I want to let you know it is a wonderful family. Even though we never met, I feel as if I know you because your brothers always speak about you with love and pride.

Dear PFC Edward Joseph Piantkowski, sir

Remembering you and those you served with on this upcoming Memorial Day holiday, May 29, 2017 You are not and will not be forgotten.

May America always stand, and may it stand for the freedom and values that you defended.

With respect, Sir
