THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Robert Sousa, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. 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.

On the remembrance of your 73rd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine

Just wanted to stop by to remember a fellow altar boy at Saint Edwards, Newark California. I have thought of you often over the years and always remember you in prayer. I was so saddened when I got the news. We attender your funeral and Mass. Mrs. Martin read some of the letters you sent to her from Vietnam.
I hold you in high esteem to know you were a Marine, not an easy task. Thank you for your service. What I remember most was your service to the Lord. My brother James, you, Mike, and I were a team for Father Gilbert. God is so good! trusting we will meet again one day.
Your friend in Christ,
Gene LeSage
