THE WALL OF FACES

along with our brother Stephen Lynn Colopy, another young man was killed, James Leroy Russell of Anson, TX. The armored vehicle hit a mine and their bodies burned for two days before they realized their remains were inside.

Steve was our youngest brother. He had 4 sister and one brother, Growing up on the family farm. His dream was to carry on the family farm with his brother when he returned from the killing fields of Viet Nam. This picture is of Steve with his sisters Rose and Betty, they were always called "The Three Muskteers". Our lives were forever changed. We have kept his memory alive with stories and family gatherings. Forever in our hearts.

I guess he was my first cousin twice removed. My natural grandmother was born a Colopy. It saddens me that today people are still being killed in armor vehicles. I hope one day men will no longer be killing each other because of politics.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Never forgotten.

HOOAH
