THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your sister Margaret and brother Richard are poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us…..

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Yesterday marked 51 years of the loss of you, my brave, loving, handsome brother! Even though the circumstances did not allow us much time together in this world, I trust that I will one day see you again. I truly believe that God spoke to your heart and you made the decision to go find us before leaving for war. Two weeks later, I experienced death for the first time in my life. I was only 14 years old but I realized you and many other young men, not much older than I, were losing their lives for the sake of our country. Those last hours with you are, and forever will be, the memory of you that I hold dearly in my mind and heart every time I think of you. Thank you for your love!

Brother, time go by so fast 50 years ago was the last time we saw each. I sometimes wonder what if make it back. How different would life be. Rest In Peace. Love you always. Your Brother Richard S. Cardenas
