THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Dear Sgt Roger Stone, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day is soon, and we honor you. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

GARRYOWEN

We are the pride of the Army
and a regiment of great renown,
Our name’s on the pages of history.
From sixty-six on down.
If you think we stop or falter
While into the fray we’re going
Just watch the steps with our heads erect,
While our band plays Garryowen.

“Chorus”

In the Fighting Seventh’s the place for me,
Its the cream of all the Cavalry;
No other regiment ever can claim
Its pride, honor, glory and undying fame.

Roger Allen Stone

He was an Infantry Soldier... and he died a Soldier’s Death... fighting for and with his friends and comrades just like Custer’s Last Stand
God Bless You Roger
And God Bless All who died with you that day
You and your comrades are why we stand to salute the flag
See you in Heaven
