THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sp4 Elwood Chaney,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. My husband was born on your birthday. My mom also passed on this day. Say hi to them in heaven, they are Michael and Rose. This is the month that we remember all those who have passed-on. We remember you. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

We were growing up together. John, Elwood's brother, was my best friend. Elwood, John and myself rasied homing pigeons. They tried to draft Elwood while he was still in High School. His Mother had to straighten it out to let him graduate. He was then drafted, he never had a chance to breath, the Army grabed him. He died in Veit Nam in Oct 1967. He was a good guy. I think about Junior every day.
