THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Elise is moving and reflects her eternal love for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…

Dear PFC Frank Tortorici, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Agent Orange Awareness Month. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Frank, my brother and I were inseparable friends in our teens in Queens, NYC. From morning till night, and at night, we did everything together. We all knew that we would be drafted as others in the neighborhood did. We all served in Vietnam as Frank did. We were fortunate and returned. Frank did not. We miss him to this day and forever.

Dear PFC Frank Tortorici, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Not a day goes by that I don't remember you. That war left scars on many of us. The pain still lingers. I wish I could believe that you were ripped from us for some good reason, but I don't. You were 8 years older than I was, but you always served as a role model to me, your young cousin. You could have just brushed aside the little kid, but you always found time for me. I made a silent vow to you years ago that I would keep an eye on your sister. You'd be proud of her, man. She has a great family.
We all miss you.
