THE WALL OF FACES

Soldiers are the true heroes everyone dreams about and idolizes. They defend the ones they love, and those they don’t, so people can all live safely and not worry about anything. The Wall lets us remember your name and memory. Sadly, it does not give you the justice you deserve. Because of The Wall That Heals, you will all be remembered forever for the greatness you have contributed to this country. However, the true effect and impact you have given to us all does not lie etched into The Wall, but carved in our hearts and souls.
In commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Roundtable, and on behalf of the student body of Charlotte High School, thank you then, thank you now, and thank you always for what you have given us. Thank you for giving us what you really deserved. Too many sacrificed a life of freedom, to selflessly provide each of us with a life of contentment.

Duane served with TRP C, 3 SQDN, 4 CAV, 25 INF DIV.

Your dad and I went to school together - he was a very nice kid - good kid. We spent the 3rd grade together - he sat behind me.

ONE OF MICHIGAN'S FALLEN SONS

Today we honor DUANE LEON CLOUSE and the ultimate sacrifice he made for our country. Rest in peace Duane and may your family find peace too. You are not forgotten.

Duane, Although we never met, I just want you to know you are not forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for what you believed in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for protecting our freedoms.
