THE WALL OF FACES

Semper Fi Marine

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear PFC Bruce Thomas, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Independence Day just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

PFC Bruce Maynard Thomas is buried in Section 31, grave 6657 of the Arlington National Cemetery. (From the ANC site)

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

I was only 11 years old then Bruce died but I can picture it like it was yesterday. I remember the family members gathered around and Bruce's high school girlfriend. Bruce's father Harry was in the Marine's on Tarawa in WWII. Now the two heroes rest next to each other along with Harry's wife and Bruce's mother Marie, among their peers.
