THE WALL OF FACES

I was born 15 months after Jessie passed away. I never had the honor of meeting my big brother, but the stories and memories that so many have share are amazing. I know that my parents and siblings all thought the world of him. However, to this day, 53 years later, I still get calls from people who had known him and loved him to tell me stories of this wonderful person I never met. He was a real life hero in my eyes.

My parents named me after him, but after I was born it was still tough for them and they decided to use my middle name. I will always be proud of my first name. I did give my eldest son his middle name, he will always in the hearts of the family.

Jessie, I hope you are dancing in heaven with our parents and siblings.

I Started to get into reenacting and the vietnam war a few years back and i thought about WW2 and Vietnam, and i chose Vietnam. so fast forward about 1 year i was on the VVM Website looking for names to use for reenacting and i went, "I Wonder who is the last name on the east side", that's were i found Jessie i clicked on a link to look at his picture and we looked identical minus the birthmarks i have on my face so that's when i decided to use his name on my uniform. (I chose him because i have not seen anyone go down that far besides a few people), I ordered dog tags with his name and a patch for his rank. he wont be forgotten not while i am around

May you always be honored
