THE WALL OF FACES

My most vivid memories of Pruitt are of him as a spirited 12/13 year old lad growing up on the family farm in Missouri with his Mother, Dad and two brothers. I visited them there for a few weeks in the summer of 1960. In July, 1966 Pruitt's Mom and Dad were visiting me and my family on Cape Cod, MA when they received the tragic news of his death.

My daughter, Holly, visited the Vietnam Wall Memorial in Washington, D. C. several years ago and made a rubbing of Pruitt's name.

Pruitt was an outgoing, lively, animated, intelligent young man who gave 'ALL' for his country. A huge loss to his family!

Pruitt is buried at Sarasota Memorial Park, Sarasota, Sarasota County,FL.

"An God said who shall we send.I answered I am here,send me."

Facta Non Verba

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Pruitt Henry Cheaney, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC Cheaney, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND
