THE WALL OF FACES

Specialist Briesacher was in my platoon in the 192nd AHC. He was an excellent aircraft electrician. Although it is now more than 50 years later, is still seems like only yesterday that we lost Briesie.
May you Rest in Peace this Memorial Day and Forever.

Marvin and I met while stationed at fort Eustes VA. while going to AIT for Aircraft Electrician school. We were both from small rural towns and became good friends. Spent a lot of time laughing and talking about some things we would do together when we got out. We received our orders to go to Vietnam and left on the same plane for our 30 day leave before going overseas. We had a stop at Minneapolis where he was going home to Farmington and I continued to Montana. I was able to meet his Mom And Dad.

Remembering "Briesie" on this Memorial Day. He would have had a good life.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic the circumstances of your passing are especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Marvin.
