THE WALL OF FACES

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU JOE. TO FORGET IS DEATH.

On behalf of all the paratroopers who served with you in the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and all who followed, we offer our respect and remembrance of your ultimate sacrifice. May you never be forgotten and your family and friends take comfort in your valor in serving.

Well my friend, after growing up together, riding boats together, getting in trouble together...50 years ago I was notified by the Red Cross of your death. I too was on active duty. I was crushed. You took me to the airport when I left for Vietnam and was there to pick me up when I got back. My family considers you one of us and always will. I went back to Jamestown last week and and went to visit you. I noticed some fresh flowers. I have a lead on your sister Patty and will try to contact her, I assume it was her. I recall how hard you worked just to join the Army and was proud for you. You will always be my friend. Rest in peace Joe, rest in peace.

Tommy, you made a world of difference to a little boy -- me. in the very short time I knew you, you made a lasting impress on my life. I'll never forget your love, compassion and understanding. I'm getting old now, and my days have grown short, but I'll to my final resting place with your love in my heart. Thank you for everything.

Hi Joe,

I still remember getting that phone call saying you were gone. At first we thought it was a very bad joke as nothing had appeared in the papers yet. But, it was not a joke and you were gone...

Love,
Mary
