THE WALL OF FACES

My cousin that I never met, yet I think of you often. We talk about you often in our home as well. In fact, I dreamed of you last night with Aunt Ginny. My kids even know you. How funny is that? Until we meet….

LCPL Bronson Lee Westfall is buried in Section 4, lot 250, Space 3 Lake View Section of the Parklawn Memorial Park in Hampton, VA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine.

My parents were close friends with Gini and Emanuel. Bronson would go fishing with my father and I often when they were living in Fox Hill. He was the big brother I never had. Like Bronz I was an only child. When he died I cried for days. He loved life so much. He told me that he didn’t just fight for his country, he fought for his fellow Marines. His bravery has inspired me for all these years. A brave Marine, a true patriot.

As we celebrate Memorial Day today, I’m going to the Va War Memorial in Richmond (our new home town) to look upon your name and remember what a wonderful guy you were. Five decades have passed but, your spirit, smile and strength remain with me always. I miss you, Deb

Well, you handsome devil, thought I would have a drink in you honor tonight. I won't dwell, but am reminiscing about our halcyon days on the water in Virginia so long ago. You devil. I love you and miss you. Temper fi, Bron.
