THE WALL OF FACES

I was in that platoon, and cannot say enough "THANKS" to a very, very brave man, who did not even think about his own safety, but the safety of those around him. I know you are in Heaven, as Heaven accepts true hero's to their fellow human beings.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

I've seen PFC Lewis Albanese before and I've read the incredible story of his selfless actions on December 1, 1966. His courage, bravery and selflessness are truly incredible. Rest assured, he shall be remembered for all time! Thank you, Private Albanese, for your service and making the ultimate sacrifice!

You paid the ultimate price in an awesome act of conspicuous gallantry on December 1, 1966.

I read your story in the book "Bird" by military historian and Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall.

I recommend it for anyone who reveres our heroes. Be sure to get the version that includes the story "Ambush," which is about Lewis.

May God continue to bless your soul, Lewis. Garry Owen.

Lewis,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our when you served in Vietnam. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
