THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PVT Earl Raymond Welsh Jr, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Thank You, may God bless and keep you in his loving arms; for you have made the ultimate sacrifice so that others are free.

In Remembrance

Earl is buried at Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, Rochester, Beaver County,PA.

The sounds of war are quiet now, A hilltop has been bought, Can those at home know what they feared, How fiercely they have fought? Continue on, U.S. Marines, Reload, regroup, renew, Death is silent, always near, To those, “The Brave, The Few.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rest in Peace, dear Hero.
