THE WALL OF FACES

Sir I never met you. I'm an entertainer now and I did a comedy show and your wife was in the audience. We thank the veterans during our show because it's the sacrifices that you and your families have made that make it safe that we can enjoy a night of laughter together. So I ask any veterans or family members to stand up so we can thank you properly. Your wife stood up. She came to me after the show and thanked me for it. We got to speaking and she told me your story that you never met your child. She never remarried. She will love you to the day she dies and beyond. I want to thank you for your sacrifice and I made her a promise that I will pray for you on the anniversaries of your death. I can tell by the way, she spoke of you that it was a deep love and admiration. Thank you for your sacrifice RIP sir.

honoring you....

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

First day

I was at a briefing that night. The movie was the Magnificent Seven. So I went to see it. Some stayed back to play volley ball. I heard the mortar's drop in the tube the timing was just as they blew up the tunnel in the movie. The rounds landed right on the court. We lost 5 men that night. My LT lost both legs.
