THE WALLThey walk along the granite block,past names all etched in stone. Among so many others here, but fell so alone.
So many here to touch a soul
There are so many here
The Wall can bridge the largest gap,
Whose names we see forever etched
The sacrifice each one of you made
To help the friends and family
You fought a war, though unpopular,
Beyond the Wall we hope to find
So rest in peace my warrior,
The Wall means much to everyone.
So look upon the the granite face
A memorial initiated by his brothers, Larry extended his tour of duty in Vietnam but was able to come home for two weeks before beginning his extension. Those two weeks were the last time we saw him. The two photos immediately below were taken while he was at home.
