THE WALL OF FACES

I had the priviledge of serving in Viet Nam with Larry Smedley and the other fine young men of Delta Company.

Larry proudly chose to serve his country at a time when many, including other young men and women of our generation, would elect to denounce that service.

In doing so they shamed only themselves.

God bless Larry Smedley. We who knew him and we who served with him, however briefly, were honored beyond measure.

"An God said who shall we send.I answered I am here,send me."

Isaiah 6:8

"To what avail the plow or sail or land or life if freedom fail"?

Larry is buried at Arlington Nat Cem.

CPL Larry E. Smedley, USMC

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Larry Eugene Smedley, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you Corporal L.E. Smedley, for a job exceptionally well done!
