THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal Samuel Viel Bulloch Jr., Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Iwas in the same platoon with him, but different squad. he was Avery brave and one off the best soldiers we had. He was a great lose to us and we missed him. I have thoughts of him often over the years. he will never be forgotten by me and others, I am sure. M ay he rest in peace

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your friends Ronnie White and Julia Snow are especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Sammy and I developed a close comradely during high school and frequently hung out together, enjoyed amusing (sometime forbidden) diversions and discussed girl friends and mulled over the future in his green ’59 Ford Fairlane till late night at the Artic Queen. I cherish the fond memories of that period with my witty friend.

Sammy was KIA on December 10, 1967 and in those days it took two weeks or more for remains to be returned from the war. The holidays that year were a sad affair. His interment was on December 24th at Macedonia Church cemetery.

Several times over the past years Sammy, always a spirited 20 y/o, has emerged in my dreams; always a brief but pleasant experience. During the last nocturnal reunion a few months ago we embraced in a big bear hug, exchanged happy greetings and agreed to meet later to reminisce. I look forward to the next visit, Sammy and his immortal smile.

I miss you Sammy.
