THE WALL OF FACES

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HERO! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN 50 YEARS! REST IN PEACE! YOU EARNED IT!

I knew Mark in OCS. If it had not been for him I would have dropped out of OCS. He came to me after my 2nd setback and reminded me of who I was and our common heritage and that I could not quit!
A good man. That conversation changed my life.

STOPPING BY TO SAY HELLO AND YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN! REST IN PEACE! MARK! YOU EARNED!

To my Uncle Mark,

I wish I could have met you.

My dad spoke of you very highly. He said that you were a genius and that you graduated high school at about 15 or 16. My brother's son looks just like you and seems to have inherited your intelligence as well. I probably could have learned so much from you. I hope that you are with my father now, keeping him company on his birthday with grandma and aunt Veda, since I can't be. Thank you for being the hero that you are and I hope you are resting in peace.

- Your neice

I am placing yellow and orange roses beneath your name at the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. today, Memorial Day. In my thoughts.
