THE WALL OF FACES

July 10th was always a tough day for my father, SP4 Harry Prutsman (Amat alum, died 6/1/12), who was CPL Sabel's best friend. They went to Vietnam together and had big plans for life after the war that, sadly, were never realized. However, my father made sure I knew CPL Sabel and what a tremendous person he was. I continue to spend 7/10 reflecting on both of their lives and the impact they had during their time with us. RIP, CPL Sabel. God bless you, and thank you for your service and sacrifice.

On behalf of those who served with you in the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and all who followed, we offer our respect and remembrance of your ultimate sacrifice. May you never be forgotten and your family and friends take comfort in your valor in serving.
