THE WALL OF FACES

Thanks for serving in the Veitnam War. I really hope that the communism will stop because it isn't very fair to the citizens of the county.

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Charles Richard Allen, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you LCPL Charles Richard Allen, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Your brothers of Second Battalion, First Marines honor your service and
your supreme sacrifice. You are one of our heroes. Your comrades of 2/1
hold you in their hearts and minds forever. Take your warrior's rest for a
duty well done. Semper Fi, Marine!
