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 PFC Richard Tissier, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Tomorrow is the 58th anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Richie I always remember you, you were the first person I knew who died in Vietnam. I went to school with your brother Billy and remember where you lived on Woodycrest. I'm writing this today because my son visited the wall today and asked if I knew anyone there, I hope he found you if not I know they felt for all of you. RIP FRIEND

I was a little girl when you passed my dearest Uncle Richie. I have never forgotten you. I have not forgotten how I begged my parents to let me go to your funeral and the heart ache I bear all these years not being able to go. Perhaps it is for a reason...never to say good bye.. only to hold you, hug you and kiss you hello again some day. I miss you. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS...My Uncle, My hero
