THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Ralph West is touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever.

Private First Class Richard Dale Broda, Served with the 3rd Platoon, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

After our completion of the helicopter concept in the fall of 64, I was going to drive home for a few days. they had given us about 3 0r 4 days off. Richard came to me and asked me if I could drop him off at a bus station in North Car, he said his Mom and dad would meet him their. I dropped him off met his parents briefly, and left. After hearing about his death, I thought about dropping him off, and realized that was the last time they ever saw him alive...I never got to speak with his parents after the war, i'm sorry now that I didn't try.

Dear PFC Broda,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Mike was 1st Cav, say hi to him. Independence Day just passed, and it is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
