THE WALL OF FACES

I’m from Uxbridge Massachusetts, Lenny lived in the north end. He’s a few years older than me and I didn’t know him, but I knew his mom. After he was killed, my mom wrote a story about him and she was a writer for a newspaper and independent writer as well. I remember Mrs. Chesley coming up to the house, and how hard it was for her. I’ve never forgotten him and I have visited him in his resting place which is Prospect Hill Cemetery in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. RIP

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Lawrence Aubin is moving. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

I grew up at the end of a field behind Lenny's house. I knew him casually. I came home from Vietnam in 1966 having served in the US Army.
I visit Lenny's gravesite almost daily as I walk the cemetery often. I noticed his service marker was sinking and asked the caretaker Harry to raise it which he did. I was not a hero like Lenny but feel a connection as we bot served. I knew his mom as she participated in our parades and school visitations as a Gold Star Mother. When I read the inscription on the gravestone I see his deep faith in God and hope that all veterans go to a special place in Heaven. Lenny, a slow hand salute to you, a true hero!

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Doc

Re-conectected on the Repose( AH-16) after you were hit in 1968 And I couldn’t talk you out of returning to your unit with the marines. You are with me in my memory for the rest of my life. Thank You for your friendship and dedication to your fellow combatants. We miss you.
