THE WALL OF FACES

I am a senior at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois, and received an assignment to recognize and remember some of the Vietnam War Veterans that I thought at first to be ineffective and a waste of time. After completing my requirements, I began to receive e-mails from members of the veterans’ family and friends that truly changed my overall perspective of this assignment. The Gridley High School Posting Project as it is formally being called is an assignment that I have taken to heart. These amazing men/women sacrificed their all for their country and were so selfless in doing so. I just wanted to take the time and express my gratitude and admiration towards these people.

Thank you. Words could not express the things you have done to help this country. You made the ultimate sacrifice in giving your life to make this place better. Without your help, things could be different. Because of you, we can live the way we want. America has bettered from your efforts. God Bless! Crystal Alvey

Thank you for giving your life to protect this great nation. Without the courage of men and women like you the United States would not be here today. My name is Jeremy Steffen and this is for the Gridley High School Posting Project.
