THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

At 12:15 PM on December 4, 1968, a M151 jeep from Headquarters Company, 1st Brigade, hit a mine buried under the blacktop surface of Highway QL-14, approximately eight miles southeast of Tan Canh village in Kontum Province, RVN. One of the passengers, SP4 Robert Clokes from the 40th Infantry Platoon Scout Dog, was killed, and three others were wounded. Their vehicle reportedly was destroyed.

This message is meant for anyone (family, friend or acquaintance) who might have known this individual. As a community service project for the American Legion Auxiliary, I am looking for a photo of this service member so that they may be fully recognized and honored on the Wall of Faces. If you have access to any type of photo (military, graduation, casual or group), please contact me at [email protected]
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Dear Sp4 Robert Clokes,
I hope your photo is put here because this wall of faces needs yours. Thank you for your service as an Infantry Operations & Intelligence Specialist. December is here, 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.
