Ten new names, ten brothers in arms, ten legacies of courage.
On Sunday, ten new names were added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, including CPL Frank A. Neary of the United States Marine Corps.
With these additions, 58,282 names are now etched in granite on The Wall.
During an emotional ceremony on a perfect day in Washington, DC, CPL Neary’s daughter, Jessica DiNapoli, shared her memories of a man who came home from Vietnam, raised a family, and never forgot the sacrifices of his fellow service men and women.
P.S. Today we also honor and remember the nine names added to The Wall in addition to CPL Neary.
They are:
PFC Johnny Owen Brooks, U.S. Army, Stockton, CAPFC Larry Morgan Kelly, U.S. Army, Akron, OHSP4 David Lawrence Deckard, U.S. Army, Louisville, KYATC Joseph William Aubin, U.S. Navy, Bridgeport, CTATR3 Richard Carl Hunt, U.S. Navy, Guys Mills, PALT Walter Allan Linzy, U.S. Navy, Nashville, ARATR3 Richard Dwaine Stocker, U.S. Navy, Jacksonville, ARLTJG David McLean Desilets, U.S. Navy, Palm Desert, CAAN Albert Kalahana Kuewa, U.S. Navy, Honolulu, HI
