THE WALL OF FACES

Remembering you and those who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War. This year makes 50 years since America left Vietnam, but the time that you and those we lost have been gone seems so much longer.

With respect, always.

This is his boot camp photo from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Platoon 3329. He earned the title “U.S. Marine” on March 5, 1968.

Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi.

Dear PFC Theodore Whitlock, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 5th Day of Christmas (date on this site is wrong), Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

We were in the same Platoon 332 MCRD San Diego 55 years ago. I just discovered this website. Sorry we didn't get to know each other better. Sorry for your parting from your family at such a young age. Rest in Peace young Marine. Blessings and peace upon your family and friends who loved you.

We can tell Memorial Day is coming with the wreaths that hang on front doors, and the small red, white, and blue American flags that line the grass covered graves of the Veterans’ cemeteries all acrosse America. One of those graves is yours, and we honor your life and your memory on this Memorial day.

May we never forget your example and the true cost of our freedoms. You with those who love you paid that cost, and America will be forever indebted.

With respect, always.
