THE WALL OF FACES

I have not forgotten you. I chair the Adoption Committee for The National League of Families of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in Southeast Asia. We will always remember the 1,889 Americans still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia and the thousands of others that lost their lives. We will not stop our efforts until all of you are home where you belong.

We need to reach the next generation so that they will carry on when our generation is no longer able. To do so, we are attempting to locate photographs of all the missing. If you are reading this remembrance and have a photo and/or memory of this missing American that you would like to share for our project, please contact me at:

How can I forget someone I never knew. To me you were first represented by a name on a POW/MIA bracelet that I have worn on and off for years. I got it while serving on Okinawa. A few short days ago I visited the Wall for the first time and rubbed your name on a couple of pieces of paper. I hope you know. I continue to look for a living relative of yours to mail one of the rubbings to. Thank you for your supreme sacrifice. God that doesn't sound like enough. I hope you have recieved a heroes reward where you reside now. Thank you Marine.

Your brothers of Second Battalion, First Marines honor your service and your supreme sacrifice. You are one of our heroes. Your comrades of 2/1 hold you in their hearts and minds forever. Take your warrior's rest for a duty well done. Semper Fi, Marine!
