THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Dear SSgt Robert Thompson, Thank you for your service as a Combat Engineer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another summer. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Remembering you and your family this Memorial Day 2017.

You are always remembered and never forgotten

Bobby was the first of my friends to die in Nam. I only knew him a short few years, when I moved to Danbury in my Sophomore year of high school.

Despite all these years now, what I still remember about Bobby was his smile and the kind way about him. I was a new kid and so had to make my way. A jerk (Louie S.) in Mr. Sniffen's class pulled my chair. A lot of kids laughed including Louie ... until I punched him out. I was alright with Bobby after that event.

No surprise he made rank as quickly as he did. Bob was a leader, who came from a good family with strong leadership values.

Peace my friend.
