THE WALL OF FACES

Like Te wrote, Danny and i were homeroom classmates from Grade 7-9 then remained frined, shared classes and hung out at "Main Street". Never got the chance to tell ya that i went in USN 5 January 1971. The memories of goofy stuff at school have always stayed i my mind. Surfs up, Brother. Hang ten eternally. Bec

Thank you for your service to our county so long ago sir. The remembrance from Stephanie Wheaton Perlowski is especially touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

SGT Daniel Scanlon Brooker is buried at Wooster Cemetery in Danbury, CT.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

I remember Danny from NSB surfing and his mom use to cut our hair. He was my older brothers age about 6 years older but we all hung out. The ocean has no age.
Years later his mom moved to the Colorado Springs area and was married to a now retired military man so my mom let me know that she was there and to go visit. Since she was instrumental in convincing my mom to let me grow my bangs out and taught her to let me live my life creatively I thought lets do it. With daughter
in tow off we went. Upon arriving she dashed over to my daughter who had almost no hair and lifted her up and said Danny..my Danny...she ran to another room and came back with a photo of Danny which looked just like my daughter..She asked what is her name..and with a smile and a tear I said Danielle...we call her Danny.
Danny brought us together in more ways than we know. He is always present in spirit and the beautiful memories in our Heart.
