THE WALL OF FACES

Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was.

Dear Lcpl Wayne Washburn, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Veterans’ Day is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Wayne, I always think about you every time I see or hear of the "Wall" and I didn't know you were a hero until I read a post on here about you. Doesn't surprise me at all cause I know how much you always cared for others and weren't scared of nothing. You had a nice funeral with a packed out service full of people and from high school Mr. Wares and three of us class mates were there. Think of you often and hope to see you again when I enter heaven.

Just read the book, "Hue 1968." Read about your sacrifice. Your are never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.
