THE WALL OF FACES

John Charles "Chuck" Brown was my best friend from Kindergarten in 1955 until he was killed in Vietnam in 1968. I am in one of the 6 pictures related to him. He is still one of my best friends.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who knew you are touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever.

John......Honoring you on your birthday.........Never forgotten—I too am a “Brown”.....
God Bless

Dear Chuck: It was such a sad day when we heard about you. I was sad and angry. Why? I said to myself, but I can't imagine what your parents went through. I tried to picture you in action in Nam but to no avail, just couldn't keep it up - too painful. I served in Vietnam myself but didn't face the threats that you and your marines faced. I remember good times back at Bryan Adams and you coming over to Eddie Hale's house when we our band practiced, you were so nice and friendly. Thank you and you are remembered often. My son rubbed your name at the Vietnam wall a few years ago in your honor. Blessings to your family. Jerry Leverett, Chaplain (LTC), U.S. Army, Retired.

Dear PFC Brown,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Frankie was also a Marine killed in Quang Tri. Say hi to him. It is another summer, as time continues to pass since Vietnam. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
