Whitney J. Faulk, was the brother of my grandfather. Throughout the years of my life I’ve heard many amazing things about this great hero. He not only laid down his life for country, but for his brother. Once he saved my father’s life before his time in war, and saved a family’s future generat Honored by Faulk Michael [2019-06-13 17:03:28] |

My wife and I, from the New Orleans area, were honored to lay a flower on Mr. Faulk's gravesite, in December 2013.
I would be happy to email a pic of his headstone. Honored by Douglas Ruby [2014-06-11 14:48:54] |
