Larry, it has been a long time since Joseph Martin Elementary, but I can remember you like it was yesterday. I also remember the day I found out that you lost your life in the service of our country. It broke my heart. I went to the Wall a few years ago to visit some friends that have their names engraved there too, while I was there I had a visit with you. I still remember the blonde kid climbing the steps in front of his house wearing the old Army field cap.

From an old schoolmate,

The Memorial:

We tried, we tried, Oh God we tried
So we could be here too
And walk around remembering
And look for names we knew
Our lives were lost so far away
Upon a distant shore
But we are here in memory
As you read our names once more
Remember us, Remember us
Although we're truly gone
Remember us, as we once were
And not just names in stone.

Larry: I miss you, MY FRIEND.
