THE WALL OF FACES

I just found a letter from John from 1964. He had just moved to Seaside, OR. I knew him at Clackamas High. Such a sweet, great guy. I will never forget him.

On behalf of all the paratroopers who served with you in the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and all who followed, we offer our respect and remembrance of your ultimate sacrifice. May you never be forgotten and your family and friends take comfort in your valor in serving.

DEAR CORPORAL BOSSMAM,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN AIRBORNE QUALIFIED MEDICAL NCO, THANKS FOR THE LIVES YOU SAVED. TODAY IS THE 42ND ANNIVERSARY OF PRESIDENT FORD CALLING THIS DAY THE OFFICIAL END TO THE WAR. IF IT WAS ONLY THAT EASY. I AM SO SORRY. IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG FOR ALL OF YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE. YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS.

Dear John, Our family was so split on whether you should go to war or not, however, once you were deployed you were devoted to protecting your buddies. We all loved you so much and were shocked but resigned when we received your final letter saying that you had re-upped for another term. You didn't get that chance but we understood then the level of your compassion. We continue to love you and miss you.
