THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your son Dennis are very moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

It's hard to believe it's been 54 years since you died in the service of our country. I am sorry you have missed so many events. Your grandchildren and nw your great grandchildren.

Nothing has gone by without me thinking of you and wishing you were there to enjoy the event. From marriages to graduations and births.

Now I am a grandfather and wish you could have had that experience. I know that I will see you again so keep your eyes and heart open for me. It will be sooner than you think. I like you will miss out on many of life's events but like you I will be there in spirit as we both watch our loved ones.
