THE WALL OF FACES

Great sadness fills our hearts today
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.

This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye

But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.

The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.

While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.

I had the honor to say your name during the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Wall. May you rest in peace.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Dear PFC David Scharibone, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Your 75th birthday is in 5 days, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 3rd week of Advent, Christmas is soon. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dave, you were a cool guy when you were a teen, when we rowdies went into the woods by White City Lake, you always came out looking clean, and we looked liked we were dragged through a sewer.. :-)
You were always neat, the girls loved you.
I worked with your cousin Christina Scharibone, and we always talked about you.
I visited The Viet Nam Memorial in West Windsor this afternoon and said a few words over your Memorial stone.
Ron Luckenbach

Remembering Dave today.
