THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Silver Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow marines. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear Dick: This is the year you tuned 86 years young.
I know you will forever be the kind, loving, and humorous player the angels love.
Hope to see you on the diamond in the sky one day soon. Know that you are not
forgotten and on this 4th of July 2023 you are remembered as a true Marine hero.
God bless and keep you in his hands.
Capt. Biz Obley, USN-ret friend and baseball opponent in 1957-58

Rich Sasek was a teammate on the Great Bend Ban Johnson team, and a teriffic player highly respected by his teammates. He was a strong leader and carried those qualities into the Marine Corps as an infantry company commander. Semper Fi.

Dear Cap Richard Sasek, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Officer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Advent. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
