THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace SP4. Collins, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

On the remembrance of your 79th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I never knew him, nor will I ever be able to, but he seems like a very nice man, and I'm glad that he could protect our country. I'm from Holly Springs, NC, as well, and since it's a small town, (probably much smaller back then) I'm pretty surprised that someone from here served during nam. Once agian, I'd like to thank you, if you are seeing this, for fighting for our country as a medic.
