THE WALL OF FACES

David and I served together at Ft Hood, TX, 1st Armored Division, B Co, 1st Bn, 6th Inf back in 1966. He got his orders for Vietnam the same day I got my orders for flight school. We lived in the same apartment complex in Killeen, Tx. Dave had just gotten married to his wife Linda prior to leaving for Vietnam. The two of us spent a lot of time together and I think of him often. I miss you buddy.

He was my basic training Sgt summer 1966. Sorry for his loss.

Thank you for all you did, sir, that allowed my freedom to remain here in the great state of Texas. Your ultimate sacrifice, your memory and what you did for my family will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your wedding picture is especially poignant. How sad you never lived a long life. Rest in eternal peace.

Staff Sergeant David Floyd Able, Served with the 1st Platoon, Company C, 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division.
