THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Howard Eugene Caffery, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I was with you when we were ambushed on that terrible day. I walk always remember you as Howie. RIP

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.

Howard, I was there when you died. I was a new medic at 3rd Field Hospital in Siagon. I knew your time was close because we had the curtains pulled around your bed. You were the first person I saw die in that terrible war. There were many others after that but I always remember your name.

Dear Sgt Howard Caffery,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. As another summer comes to an end, it is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
