THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Jerry, we were classmates at Cochran Junior High School. Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice. I, too, served our country in the U.S. Army. I made a career of it. You are not forgotten.

Dear PFC Wilbur Siegrist, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. 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 miss you dear brother. Even though I was just a little girl when you died.....I miss you and I love you. I can't wait to see you in heaven someday. Your sister, Rebecca Marsh

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, un affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
PFC Siegrist, you were the very essence of DUTY!...HONOR!...and COUNTRY! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! You were one brave man who did brave deeds for our America! You fought for the right without question or pause! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERY American citizen! In your youth and strength...your love and loyalty...you had given all that mortality can give to defend liberty everywhere! Johnstown is very proud of you! You sacrificed your life so that freedom and justice may live! You had lived up to the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land!...an ideal SO NOBLE that it arouses in all of us a sense of pride and yet, of humility! I strongly and honestly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly and immensely admirer as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Walton-on-Thames's own Julie Andrews, England's musical queen, and London's own Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices you made to keep us and our country free! Well done, PFC! Be thou at peace. ARMY STRONG!!!!

I miss you dear brother. You will remain 19 years old forever. Although I was only gonna be 4 when you died.....I have a few memories of you. I wonder what things would be like if you were still here. I cannot wait to meet see you in Heaven someday. I love you and I miss you.......you little sister..........Becky
