THE WALL OF FACES

I am now twice my father's age, my mother passed away 6 years ago. My mother stayed faithful to the end, never remarrying; she loved my father to the core. Now it brings me comfort to know now she is reunited with my father and youngest brother.
I thank those young and old, friends and strangers for contributing a moment of their time in remembrance of an hero that is forever more in our hearts. Thank you.
Cindy, I miss you and hope we can connect again.

My name is Chasity Ann, I never met him, neither did his grandson Sean (son of Steven Earl Young) or his great grandsons (my children with Sean) Myst and Irie. But I believe in a name, I believe in the soul that gives life to the body which carries that name with them. I believe in the love that echoes in the memories shared and passed onto the future generations.

This man died young; his grandson Sean would always say, "Live long, die young." It was a play on words but I believed it to be with a reverence for our fleeting time here and the pride he had in the name without knowing it's full history.

I want for Horace Earle Young to be a name remembered not only by the family that knew him, but by the generations descended from him, and for those to come. He along with all the very brave men and women who have and continue to serve our country deserve to be remembered for not only their sacrifices, but for the ripple of life that never ends simply by their existence in this world (the same way we all do) and the choices they made, and the people they loved, and the legacy they've left for us.

Chasity Ann, the mother of your great grandchildren descended from your grandson Sean Earl Young; Steven's son.

On May 11, 1965, a large Viet Cong main-force unit of approximately 2500 combatants attacked Song Be, the provincial capital of Phuoc Long Province, RVN. After two days of heavy fighting in and around the town, the Viet Cong withdraw back across the border into Cambodia. A Special Forces’ camp established on a nearby hill a month earlier was assaulted, resulting in the deaths of five Americans. Two of the soldiers were from the Special Forces and three were from MACV's Special Detachment 5891. The two Special Forces personnel were SSGT Horace E. Young and SP4 Johnie K. Culbreath, both from Detachment B-34 (Song Be), 5th Special Forces Group. The MACV advisors were CPT Henry A. Deutsch, SSGT William D. Benning, and SP4 Amos C. Watson. Thirteen other advisors were wounded in the battle. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and various web sources]
