| Kenneth Faubian Served: 1970-1971 Deceased- August 1975 Comments: Was a close friend of Don Currie, after he came home he couldn't put his life back together, information on his death came from Don Currie. Let us not forget as he also was a brother to us all. |
| March 15, 2008 I received a phone call from Don Currie today, he said that Kenneth & He met in grade school in a "Rock Fight" they went to High School together and were drafted together, Once in Vietnam, Kenneth was assigned to the 104th while Don was assigned to the 79th Group, he later transferred to the 104th where they bunked together. Don said they even shared their mail. Just before going to Vietnam, Kenneth bought a 1963 Corvette Stingray with a 427 block, he paid for that during the time he spent in the service and came home to a car that was paid in full, Don said about two weeks after he was home, he wrapped the car around a telephone pole so bad that it took 3 wreckers to free it. Don Curry said he was with Kenneth Faubion when he bought the peace symbol he is wearing around his neck, he bought it from a local Vietnamese Vendor. |

A dead soldier was facing God, For lives will always pass; He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward, now How shall I deal with you; Have you always turned the other cheek, To my bible always true?" The soldier snapped to attention, "No, Lord, I guess I aint; It seems that we who carry guns, Can't always be a saint." "I've had to work most Sundays, My work was always rough; At times I have been violent, Because the job was tough." "But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep; Though I worked a lot of overtime, When my bills became to steep." "I never passed a cry for help, But often shook with fears, And sometimes, God, forgive me, I have wept unmanly tears." "I know I don't deserve a place, Among these good folks here; They never wanted me around, Unless a war was near." "But if you have room for me, It need not be too grand; I never had, or needed much, Im sure you understand." A silence fell around that throne, Where saints had often trod; The dead soldier, with baited breath, Feared judgement from his God. "Step forward now, U.S. Soldier, You've borne your burdens well; Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done you're time in hell." |
