THE WALL OF FACES

I will always remember the night with him and my father before he went to Viet Nam and his advice to me. Also my mother's contact with him (her brother) the time he was killed; he visited her that night. I will continue praying for you. May God grant you eternal peace and love!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..
