30 Oct 2002 I never knew you ... but I've grown up hearing about you. Your picture still hangs on the living room wall looking over my step-dad's shoulder. He's never forgotten his best friend and I'm sure I never will either ... Thank you for fighting for our country. We love you, Dennis. From the daughter of a friend.

28 Apr 2004 I'm a former High School friend, Teaneck High School Class of 1964. I served in the Republic of Viet Nam in 1968 and was in-country when Dennis was killed in action. This was a real wake-up while serving in RVN. Until then we all knew where our friends were, but this hit home. The war was far from Teaneck but this became a reality that no one was exempt. I arrived home to Teaneck, New Jersey, in June 1968 to continue life, however all friends are still remembered in 2004. I have his KIA bracelet, 3/26/68, PFC Dennis S Gleason.

1 May 2004 Dear Dennis... You were a good guy. Cute and smart. I always had a crush on you from afar when we were together in high school. I think of of you at least once or twice a week. Lately, much more. I have put flowers on our altar in memory of you, many times. I, in my own small way, will work to keep you alive in this world. Because, you are alive in my heart. You are alive in many hearts. I don't even know your family. Dennis, I am old now. I have grown children. But my sons know your name and went with me to the Vietnam Memorial in DC. We placed a red rose at the site. Somehow, I believe you watched us. This Memorial Day Weekend, I am having special flowers in your name. I love you. Be at peace with our God. You know who I am. From a friend. E-Mail will be forwarded by the Webmaster@VirtualWall.org
