Still thinking of you

My namesake. I was too young to really remember you but I know you were a hero. The flag that draped your coffin is proudly displayed in my home

Remembering you on your 79th birthday 11/11/2024.

Praying that you are resting in peace, my dear friend. I will never forget you. I read your letters every year on 11/11 and I am grateful you took the time to write them despite the little time the Army gave you to yourself in the field. God bless you, good and faithful servant of the Lord - you have earned your reward!

I Will Never Forget

You were my friend whom I met via the mail by way of my cousin, John Reilly, when you were with the 196th. I told John I prayed for him and his friends every day. You wrote one day to thank me - we wrote for almost a year. You were so close to coming home - I thought for sure I would get to meet you, but instead I got the call from my Aunt that your life ended on 3/5/67. It was heartbreaking - the closest I got to you was at your wake in Union City. I knew from your letters that you were a good, loyal man. You loved your country, your family and your fellow soldiers. We as a country are proud of you and of the other soldiers who gave all. RIP my friend. It's 53 years later and I will never forget. Thanks to those who shared photos of Jerry. The only one which he sent me was taken when my wallet disappeared many years ago. I am so grateful to see his face again.
