THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sp4 Gary Zywica, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. The 57th anniversary of the start of your tour is soon. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was Palm Sunday, and it is Holy Week. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Never Forgotten.

GARRYOWEN

On the remembrance of your birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Specialist Four Gary Roman Zywica, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

You were the one that was mentioned with pride, sorrow, serving this unfamiliar cause from a giant family, of who several had served before. We never met I bet, you left 11 days after I was one. I visited you on the Wall at 2 am on a warm fall morning in DC in 1991. I've remembered you several times when Vietnam came up and lately felt compelled to find out more due to a PBS documentary and the internet that tied together in bright color where you were and what you were doing that day. The pictures were worth allot of words and tears were shed in your direction as my family tried to grasp the anormity of what happened to you and your buddies on this wall.
