THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It's just so tragic that you died so close to your birthday day and the expiration of your tour in Vietnam. Rest in eternal peace.

Specialist Five Bobby Kenneth Allen, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I arrived in at the 69th Armor HQs on 1/17/58, two days after Bobby was killed. I was assigned to the supply room at Camp Enari awaiting my unit to come in from the field. The supply Sgt gave me the task of doing inventory on two duffle bags of soldiers killed in action on 1/15/68. One of them was Bobby's and I will never forget handling the photo albums from his duffle. The pictures of his family including a child were haunting , and are to this day. Thank you for your sacrifice Bobby. God Bless your family.

Died same day as Michael Ryan..we served in the same company in Vietnam. Same day as Dwight Johnson got the Medal of Honor..

Bobby, I wish I could have met you. My dad tells me stories of you often, and these stories inspired me to serve my country as well. Till Valaha brother.
