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 Lieutenant Webb, You Are Not Forgotten!

Hi Ted. I think of you so often. We went to the same high school and you were a friend to my brother, David. As you know, David passed in a car accident in '65. I was two years behind you two. I'm now 75. I wrote a song entitled, His Country Remembers You, and it includes a verse about you and your service in Vietnam. I've included a photo out of David's '63 RHS annual. You are a hero; thank you for your service and sacrifice. I see your sister's (Jill) post on FB sometimes. God bless you and your family. May we all meet in Heaven one day. There are no goodbyes there!

Dear Lt Theodore Webb, Thank you for your service as an Air Defense Missile Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Thanksgiving is soon. Happy Thanksgiving. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
