"In my military life, I laughed and cried, suffered and had been sad. Every time when I encounter difficulties, I come here in front of the 'wall of smiles'. I look at my bros, who give me confidence and courage, and get me through.

"The wall is what I’ll miss the most. It records our smiles and memories. I appreciate you all, my brothers."
