THE WALL OF FACES

Graduated from HS with Maxie in 1965. Him, his brother, Jimmie and Bob Kearney joined the Marine Corp right out of HS. The three came back from Boot Camp looking spiffy in their uniforms. RIP Maxie, you won't be forgotten.

Dear Cpl Maxie Rice, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Cannoneer. I researched you on the 54th anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. The fall of Afghanistan reminds me of Saigon. It is very sad. 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.

Semper Fi, Marine.

I am helping out trying to locate pictures of our country men who gave the ultimate sacrifice during the Viet Nam war. The pictures will all be posted on a virtual wall in conjunction with the National Viet Nam Memorial in Washington, D.C. I didn't think it would be that difficult to do this research but I am overwhelmed looking at all these pictures of our soldiers. I thank you for your service and God bless. If anyone reads this post and might be able to give us a photo to post on the wall, please contact me. Thank you.

Semper Fi, Corporal.
