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.

Dear PFC William Wilson, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Orthopedic Specialist. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Groundhog Day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Every year on your birthday I remember you. If there is a heaven, I know you are together now with your mom and dad. Thanks to whoever put up the photo of the gravesites. I know you served because you chose to do it and your service was very short-lived.
Your cousin, Carol

Private First Class William Jeffrey Wilson, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.
