THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who knew you are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. I can't help but wonder if you are related to Anthony Cameron Shine who perished in Vietnam and is from the same city/state? As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

The “Friends of Rocky Versace” remember one of Rocky’s fellow alumni from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point - a brother Airborne-Ranger - First Lieutenant Jonathan Cameron Shine, USMA Class of 1969, on what would’ve been his 75th birthday – 7 July 2022. All 3 of LT Shine's siblings, 2 brothers and a sister, also served in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. His older brother, Anthony (Lt Col, USAF), was MIA in Vietnam from 1972- 1995.

Dear Lt Jonathan Shine, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantry Unit Commander - Ranger. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Valentine’s Day. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I have just read your life story. From a fellow Infantry Lieutenant who served a year earlier in Vietnam, I am overwhelmed in your deep faith in God those last few years of your life. I hope to be able to greet you someday and say “ you were a faithful Man of God”.

1st Lt. Jonathan Cameron Shine was awarded the Silver Star Medal for his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action. He served as an Airborne Qualified Infantry Unit Commander and was assigned to C CO, 4TH BN, 9TH INFANTRY, 25TH INF DIV.
