THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lieutenant Pierpont ~ You Are Not Forgotten!
This is the 2nd year, on the anniversary of your passing, that I ran a mile with you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, Dear Brother.

Each year since September 2015, at the annual 5th Division Army reunion, members of the Society of the Fifth Division, U.S Army remember the 514 soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 5th Division, who were Killed in Action in Vietnam. You are among the soldiers remembered. You Are Not Forgotten!

Remember to save for them a place inside of you, and save one backward glance when you are leaving, for the places they can no longer go...

I want to thank you for your service. If it weren't for courageous men like you, we would not have the freedoms and opportunities we have today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for serving your country.

You were from my hometown of White Pine, Michigan. I know many of your family members and how much they cherish you. I was able to observe your name on the Vietnam Wall in Washington, DC and also the travel Vietnam Wall in White Pine. You were given honors by the community, family, and local VFW. Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication. I am a teacher and every year show your name on the wall in your honor.
