THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear PFC Neil Riley, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Your 55th anniversary is soon, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is the 76th anniversary of the end of WWII, and the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us soi.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
PFC Riley, you had given all to defend liberty everywhere! You were the very essence of DUTY...HONOR...and COUNTRY! You fought for the right, without question or pause! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERY American citizen! In your youth and strength...your love and loyalty...you had given all that mortality can give! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! I believe that all of Gibsonia is proud of you. And I also believe that Avonbmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly and without question admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Julie Andrews, England's musical queen, and Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England, who passed on some years ago, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices made by you to keep our country free! Well done, Marione! Be thou at peace. SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear PFC Neil Edward Riley, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
