THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Rich,
I remember our days as young collegians gaining an education in both academics and fraternity lufe.
We dueled during Hell Night but arose together!

Thank you for being a brother and thank you for your supreme sacrifice for our Country.
There are no words other than to offer my sincere respect for you and my sadness that you left us too soon!
I visited the Walk and found you!
Rest in Peace Brother!

Rich Musal, Sigma Tau Gamma Pledge with you, 1964-65!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your fraternity brothers are touching and bring back memories of the good times you shared. May you rest in eternal peace.

As a returning Vietnam Vet I met Richard at CMSC and he asked what I thought about the war . . . as he was planning on enlisting. I told him it was a mess, both on the battlefield and politically, but he should do what he thinks he should do. I visit his grave site on Memorial Day and leave an American Flag and my apologies for not being more forceful in resisting his service.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Dear PFC Richard Claxton,
Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. My husband was born on your birthday, which is also the day my mom passed. Say hit them them in heaven, they are Michael and Rose. December has begun, along with all the preparations. 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.
