THE WALL OF FACES

War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

I would like to reflect on my memory of Smitty, we were squad members. He was a brave soldier and will always be remembered for his valor.

Dear Cpl David Smith, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman. Your 51st anniversary just passed, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Winter will end soon, and it is Lent. 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 David Hugh Smith was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, with Combat Distinguishing Device (V), for his exemplary courage in action. He served as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman and was assigned to B CO, 4TH BN, 503RD INFANTRY, 173RD ABN BDE.
