THE WALL OF FACES

U died today in 1968. Paying my respects. I found your grave photo & I attach it to your page. Sorry U died so young. Thank you for all the men you saved.

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.

At 5:00 AM on June 9, 1968, a critically injured Cahall was found at the Battalion rear area at Ca Lu Combat Base in western Quang Tin Province, RVN. He was medivacked to Dong Ha Combat Base and later expired. The incident was initially reported a suspected suicide, prompting an investigation. Subsequent to the inquiry, Cahall’s casualty was recorded an “accidental homicide.” [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

On the remembrance of your 90th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.
