THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Charles Ryberg, Thank you for your service as an Artillery Officer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Veterans’ Day is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

May this remembrance find you in the eternal Holy Kingdom of our Lord.

To grasp the intensity of The Churchyard, read "Ambush Valley" by Eric Hammel or "Con Thien, Hill of Angels" by James Coan.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.

I am proud to share the same Alma Mater as 2nd LT Ryberg. Within 2 week s of 1 May 2020, I will post his entry on the Harvard Hall of Heroes in the Post World War II file on the website of the Advocates for Harvard ROTC. 2nd LT Ryberg is also currently included on the Vietnam plaque on the left wall of Memorial Church in the Harvard Yard for those Harvard alumni who made the supreme sacrifice for our country. Rest in peace and God bless the Ryberg family.
