THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Ed, my 1st cousin, along with all our many other, we kids grew up together. So many memories I have of you & Larry & all the fun we had. You'd be 75 this year but your face never changes in my dreams. You're always young. Always loved. The whole town shut down the day of your funeral. I still have the letters you sent me. You are still so missed. Your sacrifice was so amazing. You are still very much, my hero. Love M.L.H.

Dear Sgt Edward Sossamon, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 52nd anniversary is soon, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Holy Week, and Passover is soon, too. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

A "BIG SALUTE," to my childhood friend. I had the honor and privilege to escort you back to Gaffney, SC and one day will see you in Heaven.

Ed Sossamon , my nephew , was a handsome , wonderful young man . He enjoyed life as much as anyone I have known . Full of energy , tough as nails and walking example of love of fellowman . He enjoyed challenge and fun with all. Those of us who were acquainted with Ed were attracted to his living with determination in every avenue of his life . Those of us who remain to enjoy the breath of freedom provided by Ed and so many who gave their all are thankful and need to continue supporting what they have done for us . Was my fortune to have been his uncle to notice his enjoyment of life with others , his determination in whatever . Rest in peace Edward . Uncle Louis

April 16, 1970, the Apollow 13 Astronauts were on a troubled return flight to earth, mission control was frantic, their instruments were damaged, they were off course and fuel was low, .............God looked down on the battlefield and saw a young man struggling with his wounds, with His might and wisdom God reached and gave flight to heaven for Ed, his flight path was true and on course, God was his mission control, Ed passed the many wonders of the universe and he knew those things that man was trying to understand today, Ed was without pain and in the comfort of God's grace, April 16, 1970
