THE WALL OF FACES

To my "Uncle Billy"...
I am your nephew, son of your brother Bobby. You were taken from this family a year before I was born. Having the opportunity to hear stories of your from your old long ago classmates, makes me feel a connection to you. Although you were 20 years older than me, I feel as though we would have had a great relationship. A long time ago in my early teen years, my Dad gave me your rifle from Vietnam. I have it to this day, and will never part ways with it. If I could speak directly to you, or know you could hear my words, I would first thank you for your services, and sacrifice you have given. Second, I would tell you that I look forward to meeting you face to face when my time comes. Until then Uncle Billy, there is a place in my heart where the thought of you lives.

You were so young, I was wounded in aug 25 1969. I talked with your brother Jimmy tonight he told me you were killed in Nam. We have been finding out about our family. I am going to visit you now that I know your in Washington DC. I love you cuz. Jimmy Bouchard

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Susan is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

On the remembrance of your 69th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.
