George Jones Memorial (50,000 Names Carved In The Wall)...
A QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTS - "Not all the guys who died are on the wall. Many came home and ended their lives. Buddy was the youngest of the Schnorr brothers that I use to play with. Buddy got out of the marines in August and I got out of the marines in September. Our dads. farms joined each other. The harvest started and we got busy or I would have visited him and we could swap sea stories. The first time I saw him was at his funeral in October. He took his own life. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and think how things might have been different if I had just taken the time to see him right after I got back. His name isn't on the wall but just as many others are, his death was caused by Vietnam. Suicide was rampant for returning service men."
