THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Sp5 Daniel Allen is buried at Cedar Hill Memorial Park in Arlington, Texas.

Allen was a couple years older then me, plus he was bigger then me so I thought it'd be a good idea to look up to him. He always had a smile for me and that was good enough. I wasn't far away on March 6th 1971
