THE WALL OF FACES

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Dear PFC Jerry Snyder, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Spring , and 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.

I think of you often and the days growing up in West Valley. Our generation gave so much, but you gave it all and you will never be Forgotten. Thank you Jerry.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Jerry.

Jerry and I went to Basic and AIT together at Fort Lewis. We were good friends and did lots together until we arrived to VietNam. Jerry was put into "C" company of the Wolfhounds and I was placed in "D" company. We were really bummed at the time but communicated by letters.
One day in Oct. of 1968 Jerrys Captain returned my letter I wrote Jerry telling me the news of his death. Very sad news. We even went to Nam together. I miss Jerry, he was truly a great guy and a great soldier.
