THE WALL OF FACES

I was assigned Edward Rafferty for a project at school, and got to know a lot about him. I'm posting a small yearbook picture that I found at his highschool.

Just know that you are still remembered and will not soon be forgotten.

You were an extra ordinary man. I really appreciate what you did for our country. It's men like you who make our country a strong nation. You will always be remembered in our hearts. Rest In Peace.

Edward J. Rafferty, I did not know you but you have been assigned to me as my Vietnam Research Soldier, so I feel it is only right to post a remembrance for you since you lived in the same area I do now though i attend Upper Darby High School just a few minutes away.

If anyone could help out with details, stories pictures about SSGT Rafferty I would be eternally grateful

Of all the tours I did in Viet-Nam I remember Ed out of all the people. I remember him singing at night after we dug in, and telling us about the girl he was going home to marry. The day I learned of his death, I felt guilty I had not been there.

This might have been the worst day of my life, Ed died in my arms that afternoon, We came into Nam the same time and grew to be close friends. I'll never forget his friendship.He spoke offen of his love for his family and the girl he was to marry. I remember his wonderful singing voice. sadly missed. your comrad. Sgt. Steve Helms 1st Inf.
