THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

In this world they've moved Memorial Day around so people can have a long weekend. But whatever day they put it on. Many of us know what this holiday is really about.
There are many people that miss having you around. After I got back. I liked hanging out in Marine City, just cruising or taking the ferry over to Canada. I always wished we had an opportunity to get back together after we both got out.

I was talking about you to one of my friends today.
We're veterans too. And while we talked I told him
about you. It's impossible to believe it's been 50+
years.

I don't get to post every year. But I think of you from time to time and every Memorial and Veteran's Day. SEMPER FI RIP
