THE WALL OF FACES

On the remembrance of your birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Hi Brother I miss you so so much! I'll be going to the DC WALL on the 27th marking 50-years you've been gone and have a special surprise in store to honor you and your brothers from Bravo. We were so young when you taken from me and I miss the life and stories we could have shared. Your Brothers from Bravo 9th 3/60th spoke very highly of you at the 50th Reunion and when they each came up and gave me a HUG it was like you were hugging me all over again. Oh how I miss that! I'm proud of you Dick and I will never as long as I have breath let your memory fade. I am the PROUDEST GOLD START SISTER! I love you soooooo!

Veterans Day is hard but I hope I made you proud my brother reading your name at the Wall. It was the most honorable thing I have experienced. I met Renee and Mary Ann (Gold Star Sisters) there and we supported each other’s readings. The brothers of your Unit are the best and miss you too. I will forever keep your name alive and make you proud. Love you! Karen

The poem I wrote for you is in photos

It's hard to believe its 49-years since you've held me in your arms. I miss your love, understanding and smiles and would give anything to have it back. My Gold Star Sisters and I will be at the Wall in D.C. November 9th to read names. What an honor it will be to honor you by reading your name proudly. I also will be reading Capt. William Michels from your Unit. You will be there too I'm sure holding me up and keeping me strong as I'm very emotional. I keep your memory alive today sharing all I can with others letting them know how very proud I am for your service and sacrifice. Love you Brother every day.

Well it’s 49-yrs and I miss you as much as I did the first day. My Gold Star Sisters and I will be at the 35th Anniversary at the Wall in D.C. November 9th for the reading of the names. I will have the honor to read your name along with Capt William Michel’s from your unit. The brothers are keeping me strong and we continue to share our memories and love for you. Keep your arm reach out to hold me up to bring honor to your memory. You are and will always be my biggest hero. I love you brother.
