THE WALL OF FACES

Remember to save for them a place inside of you, and save one backward glance when you are leaving, for the places they can no longer go...

Dear SN George Tinko, Thank you for your service as a Seaman. The 54th anniversary of the start of your tour is soon. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 58th anniversary of the 2nd Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I served as an altarboy at his funeral on a cold spring day in March. It was the first time I heard taps and will always remember your service and sacrifice.

You are remembered and thought of often. DaNang & Qua Viet

"Tink", we went through Boot Camp. Pensacola, and onto DaNang together. You were a good friend and shipmate. I am glad we had that short time together.
