THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 74 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Jackie, that's how I knew you. You were my childhood best friend. We lived then on Monroe St.Northampton,Ma. My family moved,your mom Lucille ,was a very close friend of my mom. I was getting ready to graduate highschool when I was told about about you. I hadn't seen you for years but I couldn't believe my friend as a child was killed. I never forgot you. We had the best of times as kids.

Thank you Jackie. As an 11 year old kid in 1966, you were the idol that I looked up to. I still remember you, Lon Wright, Chub Mansfield, and the rest of the guys playing basketball at Town House Apartments. May you be resting in peace, in the presence of Our Lord.

Dear PFC John Radideau, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Independence Day week. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

On the remembrance of your birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.
