The Rev Amos Kahgee, Feb 1888 - 1954, was present at my Uncle Benjamin Walkers Funeral Service on 15 May 1945 at Greensky Hill Church. He was killed in Germany in WWII. During that time, he sang two (2) solos in memory of my Uncle Ben. For this I am forever grateful. Those songs are 1) There Is No Night There and 2), The City Four Square. I played these songs and listened to the wording. I am releived that My Uncle Ben Was a man of faith.

More Than A Name On A Wall
Jimmy Fortune/John Rimel
I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall
And she took out pen and paper as to trace her memories
And she looked up to heaven and the words she said were these
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
And oh I'd love to see him just one more time you see
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him that he's more than a name on a wall
She said he really missed the family and being home on Christmas day And he died for God and country in a place so far away
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three
But Lord this time I know he's not comin' home to me
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
And oh I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be
So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him that he's more than a name on a wall
