THE WALL OF FACES

Dave was in my physics class and was my classmate '69. John 15:3: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Max Hastings incredible book brought me here. The book, which recalls the plight of so many young soldiers, describes the heroic circumstances of LT Bruggeman’s death. Extraordinarily sad to think of lives he and so many others could have lead. Rest in Peace.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Silver Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow soldiers. May you rest in eternal peace.

David and I attended high school together at Thomas Jefferson High School, Clairton, Pa and had many classes together during those four years. David was a great drummer in the high school marching band and orchestra. David made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country as a Marine. Rest in Peace my friend as you have not been forgotten over the many years by your many classmates at TJ. Jack Freiwald
