THE WALL OF FACES

First Lieutenant William David Bridge served with the 198th Light Infantry Brigade, 17th Cavalry, H Troop.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace 1LT. Bridge, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I knew Bill in ROTC at the University of Dayton. He was in Pershing Rifles and Scabbard and Blade. Bill was a true soldier. He was daring and energetic all through training. When I heard of his death in combat, now many years ago, I was sobered and saddened. But I am encouraged to see his name here. It is important that remember the sacrifices that so many make to carry out the mission of the armed forces.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Nancy Brunelli Battista is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Dear Lt. Bridge,
Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. I went to Saint Helena's in the Bronx for high school. God bless you. This is Independence Day weekend, and it is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
