THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to our country and for the sacrifice of your precious life.

It is a privilege to be able to honor you for standing up for what was right and for the courage that you demonstrated.

I know that there are many who say that the loss of your life was in vain and that the Vietnam War was a senseless war, but for this American that is not true. What you did for the freedom of others was not in vain but has always been and will always be an example of good and honor today and for generations to come.

You will never be forgotten by me and I will honor your name and your sacrifice all my days.

In honor of your Angel Day I leave this poem for you:

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.
And we are never, ever the same.” ~ Unknown

Hey James, I don't know you and you don't know me. My school has been doing a lot of research on Vietnam and the Veterans from Vietnam. You were the Veteran I wanted to learn more about. I've learned a lot from your profile and other remembrances.
I'm truly thankful for your service in the Army.
You're always in our thoughts.

Hi Mr. Skinner, I don't know you very well and you don't know me at all. But the kids at my school are doing research on the Vietnam Veterans from Maine, and i chose you to do my project on. I have learned some things about you on your profile, and you seem like a good guy.  I'm very thankful for your service in the Army.

FOREVER REMEMBERED

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
