THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Cpl Melvin Simpson, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Presidents' Day. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

It has been fifty years since that awful day in a misnamed place called “Happy Valley”.
I am still thinking about you and remembering that morning all too clearly.

Rest well, Marine
