THE WALL OF FACES

I was a young girl living Lackland AFB and saw so many lives taken from that war. So many friends drafted and some never came home. My mom use to open house to anyone on leave who wanted a place. So someone always on the couch . God Bless you and thank you for my freedom. Until now I feel it's in jeopardy, due to administration. I am sorry for your loss and your family's suffering. RIP

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from KR regarding the Wreaths Across America program is moving. I have participated in this ceremony for over twenty years and find it a humbling and inspiring experience and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of participating in the future. It is an honor to recognize the sacrifice of these heroes.

The “Friends of Rocky Versace” remember one of the 68 * men whose name is chiseled into stone beneath a Gold Star at the Captain Rocky Versace Plaza and Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Captain George Burton Colgan III, U.S. Army, on what would’ve been his 75th birthday – 2 August 2021.

* 68th name, for MIA 1LT Larry Lilly, added on 15 November 2018

During a "clandestine, spontaneous happening" at the CPT Rocky Versace Plaza and Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day 2020, the "Friends of Rocky Versace" remembered Captain George Burton Colgan III, U.S. Army, as well as Alexandria's 67 other Vietnam War Fallen Heroes.
