THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear PO2C Loren Studer, Thank you for your service as a Steelworker (Fabricator) 2nd Class. Yesterday was your 54th anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Memorial Day just passed to honor you. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

On this Memorial Day I honor you Loren, fellow SeaBee, roommate and friend. Thank you for your service! You are not forgotten brother.
