THE WALL OF FACES

Posted a picture of a memorial marker in a park in Mt Lebanon, PA. Placed in 1973 in a park dedicated to a Vietnam Veteran from our community. We still tend the marker.

I am the husband of one of Lt Col Pietsch's daughters. Getting to know his family has given me the opportunity to read the letters he sent to them and his sisters. He truly was a man of integrity, character and courage. The strength and dignity that his family and his sisters have shown over the years has been incredible.
There simply aren't any words strong enough to convey the thanks due to Lt Col Pietsch. He will never be forgotten......and he will always be loved.
As Americans, we all should celebrate and respect these individuals that have protected this country over the years.

Never forgotten.

Welcome Home.

Dear LTC Robert Pietsch, Thank you for your service as a Pilot. Glad you were identified in 2013, WELCOME HOME. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 46th anniversary of the last day of battle of the Vietnam War, and Armed Forces Day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I received my bracelet my freshman year in high school and wore it for many years. To this day, I have not forgotten his name. Thank you sir for your service. Rest in Peace.
