THE WALL OF FACES

HM3 Dennis Edward Chester is buried at East Lawn Memorial Park, Sacramento, CA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Esprit de Corps, my Brother-in-law, and brother of war!
You never wanted to come back as an amputee, like so many of your Pts. at Oak Knoll. May the grace of God, be with you ... you spent your time in Hell!
My daughter is a Social Worker, just like you had hoped to be.

Petty Officer Third Class Dennis Edward Chester, Served with the Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Dear HM3 Dennis Chester,
Thank you for your service as a Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class with the 3rd Marine Division. Thanks for the lives you saved, Semper Fi. Veterans' Day just passed.. Thank you for your service. 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.

My dear friend Dennis, I often think of you, who so much to promise for achievements in the future. It was you that gave me the support I needed and walked me into the Marine recruiter in 1962. Of all the young men I knew at that time, you stood out and above all....God Bless you. Frankie Briato
