THE WALL OF FACES

I had the honor to say your name during the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Wall. May you rest in peace.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Another life taken way too soon...

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

My beautiful brother whom I never had the chance to meet. I have had the honor of speaking with the soldier whose life you saved, while giving your own. The genuine act of love, brotherhood, dedication, serving and believing in all you stand for is truly remarkable. I wish I had a chance to meet you as I am many years younger, but I know you have met me and continue to watch over from above. I love you big brother. Thank you for your service.
