THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Staff Sergeant Everette Earl Cofer was awarded the Silver Star Medal, with Oak Leaf Cluster, for his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action. He served as a Special Forces Qualified Infantryman and was assigned to RT PICK, CCS, MACV-SOG, 5TH Special Forces Group.

Dear Ssgt Everette Cofer,
Thank you for your service as a Special Forces Qualified Infantryman. You were born 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.

On April 3, 1970, SSGT Everette E. Cofer was serving as a team leader of a six-man, long range reconnaissance team inserted deep into enemy controlled territory. Upon reaching their target area, SSGT Cofer’s team established positions near a trail in order to observe enemy traffic. To obtain a better vantage point, SSGT Cofer moved his team toward another ambush site, but during this move the team was spotted by a lone enemy soldier. SSGT Cofer immediately led his team toward a prearranged extraction landing zone. The enemy, coming in ever-increasing numbers, soon surrounded the team. SSGT Cofer called in gunships and directed suppressive fires that caused the enemy to withdraw temporarily. After the gunships expended their supply of ammunition, SSGT Cofer was informed that a 40-man enemy force was moving toward his position. The numerically superior force took cover and began firing B-40 rockets and heavy automatic weapons fire at SSGT Cofer’s position. Exposing himself to the intense enemy fire, SSGT Cofer rushed the enemy position to mark it with white phosphorous grenades. As he was returning to his team’s position, a rocket burst nearby, fatally wounding him. SSGT Cofer’s gallantry in action, at the cost of life, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
