THE WALL OF FACES

SGT Percy Eugene Bly Jr. is buried in the Garden of the Cross, Lot 33, Space 2 of the Roosevelt Memorial Park in Chesapeake, VA.

During this Christmas season, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just eleven days before your DEROS is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Percy was my husband Dennis' best friend during basic training. I posted these pictures of Percy that Dennis took at Ft. Benning. Sgt. Percy E. Bly, Jr. gave his life on September 14, 1970, just 11 days before his tour was to end.
