THE WALL OF FACES

I was fortunate enough to know your father quite well. Words cannot describe how proud he was of you. I feel like I know you even though I never met you. Thank you for all you did for all of us.---Michael B. Goodin, Spotsylvania, Va.

Sgt., I will always remember you, especially after your statement when you went you wanted to go hard. Well believe me you did. and in so doing you certainly saved a bunch of your comrades. There is even a book out about the battle called "Mud soldiers" the first chapter describes the action in pretty minute detail most of it provided by Lt. Libs. Well keep the faith and may God watch over you.

Jimmy, I will always remember you. We were in the first platoon, first squad Charlie co., 2nd battalion, 16th infantry together for over 10 months. We became great friends, maybe even more than that. Eternal brothers! I was with you when your days on Earth ended. You gave your all, no one could ever ask for a better or more loyal friend than you. Your name is now engraved in that black wall, in Washington, D.C. About 7 years ago early one morning I came and touched your name and the 37 others from Charlie Company who died on that day. God has made a place for people who gave their lives for their brothers. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of the guys someday. You are always in my heart and mind.
Your friend
Charlie Epperson
I love you bro!
