THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to this country. Your legacy lives on as you are remembered on this wall. Not only did you Go to war twice and paid the ultimate sacrifice, You also trained the soldiers who would continue your legacy. If there is one thing a soldier will never forget its his drill Sergeant. I will honor your memory by telling your story and allowing you to be the definition of a true leader. Thank you for leading and leaving trained soldiers to continue the fight.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will never truly die.

Sgt Alicea was my Drill Sgt at Fort Benning in 1969 . He was tough but was fair and always gave true and honest advice . He is a true American Hero .

We were always so proud of you and will never forget you.

Dear Uncle Mike.

When I was a young teenager before you went back to Vietnam for your second and final tour, I still remember your strength and wonderful sense of humor. You were one of my favorite uncles and influenced me in choosing the Army as a career. You were a proud Puerto Rican and American soldier. Should the Good Lord permit, I look forward to meeting you again in heaven one day.
