THE WALL OF FACES

Remembering that day in 1966 we were ambushed. Several were killed or wounded. One of those could very easily been me. I helped load Coz on the evac Huey. I didn't know his fate for many years. My wife and I visited his memorial and replaced the old flags.

Cosmo,
I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 1st "Big Red One" Infantry Division in Vietnam fighting the NVA and VC . And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I grew up in Brooklyn around the same time. At a memorial day service I attended those of us without military family ties were encouraged to research someone from their hometown, and my internet sleuthing led me here. I am grateful for his service to our country and I am glad to read that there is a park/tree in Brooklyn for him.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace PFC. Barone, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Clarence Grow is especially poignant and reflects the anguish experienced by so many as a result of this war. May you rest in eternal peace.
