THE WALL OF FACES

The “Friends of Rocky Versace” remember one of Rocky’s fellow alumni from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point - a brother Paratrooper - MG George William Casey, USMA Class of 1945, on what would’ve been his 100th birthday - 9 March 2022. One of his sons became Chief of Staff of the Army from 2007 - 2011.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Stuart McLennan is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

saw you on a couple of occasions, firebases in 1970.
Sgt. Glenn "Kahoona" Koonce

I am proud to share the same Bostonian & Gaelic ancestral roots, military oath of office and Alma Mater as MGEN Casey who is addition to West Point is also considered to be part of the Harvard Class of 1945 where he was educated before transferring to West Point. I have posted his entry on the Harvard Hall of Heroes in the Post World War II file on the website of the Advocates for Harvard ROTC. MGEN Casey is also currently included on the Vietnam plaque on the left wall of Memorial Church in the Harvard Yard for those Harvard alumni who made the supreme sacrifice for our country. When this plaque was unveiled, I had the pleasure of introducing and meeting his son Gen George Casey Jr. USA (Ret.) as the keynote speaker for this solemn and noble event in Mem Church in the Harvard yard Rest in peace and God bless the Casey family.

MG George Casey, thank you for your service and your sacrifice for our country. 49 years later, the words thank you seem so inadequate for the sacrifice you made to ensure our freedoms. May your sacrifice and the sacrifices of your Vietnam brothers and sisters in arms always be remembered. Rest In Peace, Brave Soldier. Hooaah!
