THE WALL OF FACES

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Glenn was my first cousin. I was always told how much I would have loved him because like me he was a clown!!! I wasn’t born until 1965. I read a book about Vietnam that he was in as we’re many others and how he went back into the jungle that day and saved seven lives. Seven families lives were forever changed because of his sacrifice. I will meet you in heaven.

Dear Glenn,

I too served in Vietnam, January 1970 to December 1970. On this Memorial Day 2022 I want to thank you for service, your courage, but mostly for saving the life of my friend Andy. You saved his life a couple of weeks before a bomb took yours.

Without heroes like you, families would never have been formed. Friends would have never met, and most of all our nation would not be what it is today.

Rest in peace soldier, until I have the honor of meeting you.
