THE WALL OF FACES

I never got the chance to meet you , but I thank you , Uncle Larry and I know we will meet someday!

Lawrence is buried at Westminister Memorial Park in Westminister, CA.

Larry My name is Roland Marchand and I too am a Vietnam vet. 1967-68 Marine 1/5 I worked with your Mom many years at the Stanta Ana Post Office. She was a Great Lady and she told me of you and how you were as a Kid.

Brother I can't wait til the day I am Welcomed Home by you and all my brothers when I reach the Gates of heaven.

SEMPER-FI Brother Roland Marchand

Today is July 2, 2007, and I sit in Washington, DC remembering 1967 and 1968 in Vietnam. We are attending a reunion with Khe Sanh Veterans Association and over the next few days, I and many of your Brothers from 26th Marines will visit your special place on the wall but even more importantly we will again be visiting the very special place that you hold in our hearts. You know we visit it often.

This year my family and I will celebrate the 4th of July with our Brothers that we served with in Vietnam, those here attending the reunion and those here in spirit that gave there all so many years ago.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


Rest in peace my friend my Brother.
You are missed and never forgotten.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
