THE WALL OF FACES

Remembering you on this Veteran's Day 2003.
You gave your life for the freedoms we now enjoy.

We were so young and alive that warm Spring day at Fort Huachuaca, Arizona, just weeks before going to Nam. You were such a gentle young man, I couldn't understand why a Loyola graduate would want to be in the infantry and you told me it was because you loved the out-doors. We flew to VietNam together and we said goodbye at LongBinh, you going to the First Cav and me to the First Field Forces. I looked for you a year later at CamRanh Bay and couldn't believe it when I learned you were gone. I still think of you John, and hope you are where the sun is always shining. Your buddie.

"An God said who shall we send.I answered I am here,send me."

Isaiah 6:8

Et Lux Perpetua Luceat Eis
Requiescant in Pace

Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice, giving your life, for my freedom and for the freedom of every person that has ever dreamed the American Dream. Thank you for your sacrifice that has made our country what it is today.
