THE WALL OF FACES

Great sadness fills our hearts today
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.

This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye

But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.

The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.

While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.

Dear PO1C Kenneth Van Hoy, Thank you for your service as an Aviation Electronics Tech 1ST CLASS with SEAL TEAM 1. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Summer ends in days. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

It was almost exactly 20 years and one month ago that I left a Remembrance of my roommate and team mate. I know the “Kraut” feels the same as I do, wherever he is. Some day we will be together again-Kraut, Van Hoy, and Huk.

I'm trying to find pictures and stories about Kenneth. Please contact me at :[email protected]
Scott VanHoy.

Petty Officer First Class Kenneth Edward Van Hoy, Served with Detachment Golf, Seal Team 1, Task Force 116 (TF-116), United States Naval Forces Vietnam (USNAVFORV).
