THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your friend Mike Brown is moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

On the remembrance of your 73rd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Doc

I remember when you paid me a visit and I gave you the care package I got from home to help with the job you were doing in the villages and later got the sad news please keep on doing your great deeds

I found your name when the traveling wall came to Sonora. You could not have known how much your death impacted me. I was friends with your brother, Anthony. On what I think was your last visit home, you demolished a stucco shed in your back yard with your bare hands and feet. I was amazed to see the controlled strength from such a gentle soul. It is the kind of strength I will always consider to be exemplary. Blessings to you, Anthony, if you are to see this.
