THE WALL OF FACES

Great sadness fills our hearts today
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.

This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye

But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.

The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.

While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.

I remember eating c-rats with you before you took your squad out on patrol. We talked about you being a short timer. About a month to go as I recall. I remember you talking about marriage when you returned home.
You took your squad out on patrol, I heard the explosion. Later I heard you had passed. I REMEMBER YOU.

Dear Cpl Roy Wilson, Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Valentine's Day is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Never forgotten.

Semper Fi, Marine

On the remembrance of your 72nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.
