THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 years of age. I am 75 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Cpl Craig Yates, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Craig was my cousin, on my mothers side of the family. He was a well mannered young man and not deserving of his fate in Viet Nam. No serviceman deserved a death i Viet Nam!

Craig's photo, appearing in The Vietnam War documentary, touched me. Your features, Craig, reminded me in small ways of myself. But more than that, your photo seemed to glow with the light of your inner character, all of its strength and potential.

Having came across this website, I thought it appropriate to write a few remarks, hoping to convey the ongoing, undying affect people have on others. Craig's positive influence continues to radiate forth, bearing with it all that he brought to life, and more.

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

HOOAH
