THE WALL OF FACES

You are in my thoughts often

Dear Cpl Johnny Saxon, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 2nd week of 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.

You are not forgotten. We will pay our respects to you the the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

For some reason, "Mac" McMillan, dubbed you "Horse Collar". It was especially hard on Mac that you got hit that day because he was walking point. Although he was wounded, he felt he didn't do his job because he missed signs that there was a booby trap on the trail. It seems as though God wanted you more than your family, your friends and your buddies. You were courageous, Johnny. When I came to see you in the hospital, you knew that your tour of duty was over. I could see it in your eyes. But some forty years later I still see that big North Carolina grin. I know I will see you some day and what a great day that will be. Keep smiling, Johnny.
