THE WALL OF FACES

Another year has passed and as I said before, they keep passing much faster each year. Matt shared some letters from you, from Viet Nam, that I hadn't read before. Of course, it brought a tear to my eye, but in a good way. Mark and Matt have moved from CA to WV and are nearby to Nola and me. I/we miss you very much! Hello to Mom, Steve, and Jo.

Remembering you and those who didn't make it home from the Vietnam War. This year makes 50 years since America left Vietnam, but the time that you and those we lost have been gone seems so much longer.

With respect, always.

Geez...it seems like this day comes around much too quickly each passing year. Guess that means I'm getting older LOL. Just wanted to say "hello" and let you know you are not forgotten. Miss you so much! Hello to Mom, Brother Steve, and Sister Jo. I/we miss you all very much.

We can tell Memorial Day is coming with the wreaths that hang on front doors, and the small red, white, and blue American flags that line the grass covered graves of the Veterans’ cemeteries all acrosse America. One of those graves is yours, and we honor your life and your memory on this Memorial day.

May we never forget your example and the true cost of our freedoms. You with those who love you paid that cost, and America will be forever indebted.

With respect, always.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The many remembrances from your son Michael are touching As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..
