THE WALL OF FACES

At the time of his draft he was the head of the household caring for my elderly parents and a disabled sister. A very responsible young man who knew he had the duty to care for them. A wedding had been planned for after his tour of duty in Vietnam.

He loved the military and a very proud young man who was happy to serve and was as proud that he had been chosen as squad leader prior to his death.

Isaiah 6:8

Et Lux Perpetua Luceat Eis
Requiescant In Pace

Rio Grande City should never forget that you layed your life down for them and their country.

I have never heard your name before but I feel everyone here needs some acknowledgement of their ultimate sacrifice for our country. You died much too young. You most likely were just out of school. You had a life that deserved many more years. You left behind people who loved you and who, I imagine still feel the pain of your loss to this day. I hope they have comfort in knowing you are at rest and that they will someday see you again in a much better place.

Your courage and efforts in Viet Nam will never be forgotten in my heart and in a multitude of others who have the upmost respect and honor for the soldiers who lost their lives there.

In peace always
