THE WALL OF FACES

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

I was a Plebe in Ken's company at West Point when he was a First Classman. Ken treated everyone with respect, including lowly Plebes like me. It was Ken Yonan's example and encouragement that led me to Christ. Ken had an eternal effect on my life, for which I am eternally grateful. Well done good and faithful servant. I look forward to seeing you again when my days have run their course. Very respectfully, Skip Ash, USMA 72

Dear Maj Kenneth Yonan, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantry Unit Commander and for graduating from West Point. Glad you were identified in 1988, Welcome Home. 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.

Today, July 18, 2022 would have been your 75th birthday.
I have missed you, my cousin, all these many years.
Although you left this world all too soon, I know we will one day be reunited for all eternity in the next.
Happy Birthday
