THE WALL OF FACES

It has been too many years my friend.

Rodney and I went to high school together in Kilmarnock, Virginia. Last time I saw him was while were in the Marine Corps. He was in ITR, and I was able to get him some time off as I knew his instructors. Rodney was a good friend and good Marine.

If the Lippincott's would contact me, I can give them more information about his life in Virginia to pass on to Rodney's sisters.

Rodney is buried at St Elizabeth Cemetery in Goshen, NJ. PH

Although his home of record shows VA. Rodney grew up in Wildwood NJ. He died on my brothers 30th birthday. He was a good friend of my wifes. We went to his funeral. His mom got her first letter from him the same day she was notifed of his death. I didn't know him that well, but I believe he died doing what he wanted and that in his mind it was for a good and just cause. My mother-in-law and his mom took him to the airport when he left. He had only been in Viet Nam around 2 weeks when he was killed. I served in RVN Sep 68 - Aug 69. Would like to know what unit he was in. He has 2 sisters who would like to known more about him.

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Rodney Leroy Stinson, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC R.L. Stinson, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND
