THE WALL OF FACES

The war may be forgotten but the warrior will always be remembered. All gave Some-Some gave All. Rest in peace Sky Soldier.

I have no memories of you as I was 22 mo. & you were 1 month shy of your 21st birthday. But I'm so extremely proud of you as your oldest nephew for your service & the ultimate sacrifice you made on behalf of our country. All 4 (2 Army) of your siblings served as well as your nephews (2) and Great nephews (2 Army). I'm so extremely grateful for the photos that were posted of you. Its almost like meeting for the 1st time. God Bless you Uncle ...RIP!

Dear Sgt Emory Coates,
I hope your photo is put here because this is a wall of faces and yours should be here. Thanks for your service as a Light-Wheel Vehicle Mechanic. You passed on my mom's birthday. Say hi to her, her name is Rose. December is here, along with all the preparations. It is almost Christmas. 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.
