THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Uncle Kenny,

I have only a child's memory of you, as I really only had contact with you during vacations to Ohio when I was 5 or 6. You got down on the floor with all us kids (including your own 3 daughters) and played with us like no one else did -- such a family man! I don't remember precisely what you did, but I've always kept an impression of joyous hilarity in my heart, and I decided on that occasion that you were my favorite uncle.

I vividly remember the crushing moment our family received the phone call about your death in SE Asia when I was 7, just as I was leaving for school. I had never before seen my mom burst into tears or begin wailing as she did then. We all felt the same way.

On the remembrance of your 76th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Sergeant Kenneth Stephen Vore, Served with Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I wish I could meet.

I wish I can thank you personally
