THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 74 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear PFC Robert Stallings, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. I researched you on your 74th birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Spring. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

As your 73rd birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

I knew Bob in Jr. High and High School. He was a strong minded fellow, and fearless. We met for the last time in March, 1966 at Subic Bay. I was deployed with HMM 362 (the helicopter squadron) aboard the Princeton. This was the ship that brought 5 Marines over from the States. We joined the ship at Subic Bay in March.
Bob was a special man.
I get to Spokane occasionally. When I am there I visit Bob's grave and leave a coin.
Semper Fidelis, Bob. You had the "Old Corps" ethic. You're lucky in one way. You didn't have to live through the "sell out" from Congress.

Bob and I grew up together beginning on S Walnut and spent many days together at each other’s homeshomeson 17th and 20th. We had great fun being mischievous and being a .year younger Bob was the closest person to me as a brother. He taught me many life lessons. In later years I worked for his father Harold and enjoyed visiting with his mother Gladys and sister Gail. I think of you often Bob and all the good memories! Rest In Peace Brother!
