THE WALL OF FACES

Thanks Robyn for sharing the Photo and letter about your Uncle "Ronnie"

I thank God you were my friend. I went to the Vietnam Veterans wall over Thanksgiving and placed my hand upon your name and thanked God I got to see you and talk to you one last time before you were gone forever. You knew you were not coming home and I thank God I got to say goodbye my friend. I am proud of you , you knew somthing was going to happen yet you went back and served your country well and stood by your friends. A true hero and friend indeed!

I visited your grave the other day and put new flowers there and talked to you. I think of you almost every day and look at your picture hanging on my wall. You are still my friend and my hero.

"An God said who shall we send.I answered I am here,send me."
