THE WALL OF FACES

We were at the Rockpile when you took the grenage out of its holder. There was no pin and it armed itself. You could not throw it in front because Marines were bathing. You could not throw it behind you because there were Marines there too. You put it in your flac jacket taking your own life to save the lives of your fellow Marines and Corpsmen of 3/9. You are a brave Marine and all should know this.

Sherman, thank you. The students of Gridley High School are doing a project to thank all of the soldiers on the Vietnam Wall. I am a Junior at Gridley who is just offering a humble thanks. Your talents, your blessings, and your life are remembered. This humble message is part of the GHS posting project. God bless

Thank you for sacrificing your tomorrows. May God bless you and keep you safe in His arms.

Those of us who remember the Vietnam War are carrying the torch of remembrance for our fallen, our MIA's, and our POW's.

We are forever indebted to you, PFC Washington.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine... Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Dear Mr. Washington,
My name is Ryan McKinsey and I am posting remembrances for our Gridley High School Posting Project in Gridley, Illinois. I just would like to thank you so much for your sacrifice and your brave leadership to give us our freedom we have today. For your gracious effort, you shall always be remembered.
Sincerely, Ryan McKinsey
