THE WALL OF FACES

Remember to save for them a place inside of you, and save one backward glance when you are leaving, for the places they can no longer go...

It is with continued Respect and sadness that I write this simple but heartfelt recognition of Alan. Alan was an underclassman at Marshfield High School in Marshfield, Mo. and was highly respected by everyone, most especially the football team. He was the brother of CB Ruddell, Chief Master Sgt, USAF (retired.) With the blessings of God I knew and was friends with both brothers and without doubt I am a better man, and former Airman, because of their friendship. May God Bless and Keep Alan's soul and continue to watch over CB and his wife Cindy. Our respect to both Ruddell brothers for their service and dedication to our great country forever stand.

Dear Sp4 Alan Ruddell, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Halloween is next weekend. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Alan James, a brother I did not know, wish we'd met, but maybe we will? RIP, Sister Sue

I never knew you, but my dad did. You had a conversation about your middle, and last name. I know that with war, you never know. With that being said, you both had a conversation, that one day, hopefully would have been finished. Unfortunately it was not. I always ask myself the question, "for what?"
