Dale I remember the sad news of your death as if it were yesterday. It's been 37 years since you died. I will always remember your special smile and the love and laughter you brought to our family. Today I am seeing the wall for the first time at LRC. You will never be forgotten. Love, your cousin Myra.
Roger, you were just a boy when you left for Viet Nam. On the day you made the ultimate sacrifice I'm sure you had become a man in every way. You were denied living many years and enjoying the things we take for granted. You will never be forgotten. I agree that everyone on the Wall should have a remembrance. In gratitude for your ultimate sacrifice. I honor your memory today, on the anniversary of the country's great loss of Roger Dale Alexander on the foreign soil of Viet Nam.
