THE WALL OF FACES

My friend you were only 2 days from your 18th bday when you died.What would you have become?Godbless you soldier.

Here is a link to a website that has the Statler Brothers performing their song More Than A Name On A Wall.It was performed at The Wall during a special remembrance day. I could just leave the lyrics but I feel it's better to hear the words. They speak to each of us who come here to remember our fallen brothers and sisters.

It's said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for family, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

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

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

Again, thank you PFC Allen, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

I HAVE TRIED TO LIVE MY LIFE FOR BOTH OF US. YOU ARE WITH ME ON OUR BIRTHDAY, AND IN MY LIFE EVERYDAY. WE WILL BE FREINDS AND COMRADS FOR EVER. YOUR LIFE ON EARTH WAS TO SHORT, BUT YOUR LIFE WITH GOD IS FOREVER.
