THE WALL OF FACES

I served with Daniel Allegre when we were both in the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne. He was one of the best human beings I have known and I will never forget him.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizen in a Republic", April 23, 1910

Staff Sergeant Daniel Albert Alegre, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I heard about you through my father, James A. Martin, who was lucky enough to come home from this war alive, after his recent chat with my Uncle Rick Tiffer, a friend from your youth. Blessings to your soul and thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice.
