THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Patsy is touching and reflects her admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Maj John Williams, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Martin Luther King Day. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

John and I met in grammar school. We shared a love of airplanes and vowed we'd both become pilots. Somewhere along the way, I followed a different path. John, we called him Johnny Reb but I can't remember why, kept his eye on the prize. Rest easy, old friend, and thank you.

I will never forget the way you came into my life and made it so special for the time we were together. I still read your letters once a year as I have done now for almost 50 years and each time I learn something new about the war and about the meaning of love. You have my heart. Alice aka Me

Even after all these years I find it so hard to think of you without crying.

Mom was devastated when you died, you were her only son. You left behind a lovely wife and three beautiful little girls. We all miss you dearly.

I remember the Easter you found the golden egg with a ticket inside for a free flight. You were in love with flying from then on. You drew airplanes on very scrap of paper you could find, even on your homework. You were destined to be pilot.

You jointed the California National Guard while you attended college always with your sight set on jointing the Air Force and flying. I know you loved being in the military and serving your country.

I am very proud of you and the sacrifice you gave for all of us. But it does not lessen the pain of never seeing you again or losing my only brother.

Thank you John for loving to fly
