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 PFC Garrity Vogel, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Columbus Day is soon. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

PFC GARRITY VOGEL, It will be my privilege to read your name as part of THE READING OF THE NAMES on 11/09/2022 at 5:04 a.m. in Washington D.C., as is done every 5 years to honor and thank you (and your family) for your service and ultimate sacrifice.

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.
