Thank you
Deepest thanks to you who wore my uncle Richard's bracelet for years and prayed for him and his family, and for your constancy to post in his memory on The Wall. I was a small girl when he was lost but for many years we hoped and prayed for his return. Now my son's friends are going off to war in their turn, Afghanistan and Iraq, brave young men and women, still willing to offer their sacrifice and possibly their lives to serve. Uncle Richard's loss has left a hole in our family for so many decades, most deeply of course to my aunt and cousins. Peace.

Happy Birthday Uncle Dick. Just feels like last week I met you at your sister's house. (My Aunt Ang's) Talking about if the military was going to be part of my life. It was, but not as we talked. I lost your bracelet years ago. I pray for you, Aunt Ang and Uncle Don daily.

Rest well Col. Walsh and know that you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. From the sister of a yet another, Fallen Young Hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.....
Oh, I Have Slipped The Surly Bonds Of Earth And Danced The Skies On Laughter-Silvered Wings Sunward I've Climbed And Joined The Tumbling Mirth... Of Sun-Split Clouds And Done A Hundred Things... And, While With Silent, Lifting Mind, I've Trod The High Un Tresspassed Sanctity Of Space.... Put Out My Hand And Touched The Face Of God...

May the World Find Peace...
I too have treasured my MIA/POW bracelet since the early 1970's. I wore it proudly and with such hope for many years.It's bent, tattered & tarnished now,and has been tucked away for many years.I have thought about Col.Richard Walsh III many times & hoped that he had returned safely. When "The Wall" came to be, I avoided looking...afraid to see if his name was there. I came across the bracelet yesterday & decided it was time...Time to know what happened to "my" MIA/POW, time to hope for resolution for the families,time for PEACE AND AN END TO ALL WARS. Col.Walsh, your sacrifice will not be forgotten...nor will you.
