THE WALL OF FACES

5/24/2022 I am thinking of you today as I do many days. You were full of fun and adventure every day on the farm. From working unloading the grain trailers you’d rush the work so we could hurry down to the creek for a lingering swim and wash off the itching dust and that’s when you’d take time for fun. The cushman scooter you got running and told me ’if you can start it-you can drive it’ and you were true to your word so at 6 years old I got it started!! And you were so happy for me and let me drive it! The skid you made to pull behind the Ford tractor and getting air by lofting over young mesquite trees! I remember you rolled it into a prickly pear and you laughing while we picked the thorns off you. The go kart you made using the motor from the scooter was so Awesome and Fun!
You always were coming up with another adventure every day- I loved those days as kids and that’s how I think of you- fun mischief!!
And thank you for the GTO- mom got a speeding ticket hahaha- she did drive it fast!!
I never lost a drag race in it- well it went up in flames a couple months after dad sold it. I truly had fun in that car.
I still miss you- and you still inspire my fun side - you brought immense joy to my childhood-
Happy Birthday Richard!!

I found you on the traveling wall for my dad... he sure misses and loves you.

Rip soldier, All gave some some gave all.. you were my daddy's friend..

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your brother Mark is poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

May those who served never be forgotten. We can never truly repay the great debt we owe our fallen heroes. Rest in peace 1LT. Busenlehner, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.
