THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just two days after your 22nd birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

I will never forget you Gary.
You were our friend.
We cried. You had our cookies in your back pack. Mom held your mother’s hand. I will never forget.

I had the honor to say your name during the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Wall. May you rest in peace.

"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."

Correction: SSgt Gary Platt for being an Airborne Qualified Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Be at peace.

Dear PFC Gary Platt, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Today is your 52nd anniversary, so sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day is this next weekend when the nation remembers all our lost. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
