THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Dear Cpl Robert Small, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Winter will end soon, and Lent has begun. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Corporal Robert Raymond Small, Serve with Company A, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 196th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Tito as we called you rest in peace buddy Thank you for serving. You are in Floral Park where my parents are. Seems like yesterday we were playing baseball at school 48. School and neighborhood are gone thanks to Lilly's. May God watch over you. Michael Tibbetts

He faced them with courage never batting an eye as a tear slid down a bloody cheek and grief filled his heart , while his mind wondered why ?
He smiled at his family , his friends , and himself then brushed from his cheek that single drop of disconsolation and smiled once again, then carefully replaced his heart upon its refulgent shelf.
Brotherhood lay stricken in this manmade hell and once more remorse and fury reflected on his face as he leapt to their aid , to his comrades who fell
While running through hell a new life was born and expired that very day his eyes shutting out that last bit of hate as he fell to the earth a body now torn.
