THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Kathy Johns O'Leary is touching and reflects her admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Correction - PFC David Semmler - Thank you for your service as an Infantryman.
God bless you and dance with the angels.

Dear PFC Peter Semmler, Thank you for your service as a Powertrain Repairer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another new year. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I just read the story of Dave. I was there in his company the year before and I know the exact location where he died near top of LZ Center. Oddly when I got back from Vietnam I went back to college in Rochester very near where he was from and know Webster very well. We never forget a single member of our company (we lost 87 men in Charlie Company 3/21 and 1154 men in the 196th Light Infantry brigade. We remember all our brothers.

SGT David C. Johnson was an armor reconnaissance specialist and PFC David A. Semmler an infantryman, both serving with C Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry, 196th Infantry Brigade at LZ Center in Quang Tin Province, RVN. On February 5, 1971, SGT Johnson and PFC Semmler were on the perimeter of LZ Center on a firing range when a booby-trap detonated. Both soldiers were fatally injured in the incident. Semmler was posthumously promoted to corporal. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
