REMEMBRANCES

  • Will always Remember

    Posted on 8/22/15 - by Gilbert L Morphis
    I was the last person to see him alive on the night he became a casualty. we were a two man team working together on the night shift that was started to handle a back log of helicopters in maintenance. He sat a top our bird, straddling a rotor blade to service it. I was on the engine deck below and a shorter drop to the ground, which probably helped save me when the suicide squad of vc sappers attacked. For years I have deeply regretted not having any contact info for his family especially his mother to visit and console her. His trademark greeting was "give the drummer some" when he entered the hooch. Us guys would answer "you got it drummer!" And so Sp4 Thomas, my friend "you got it" You got my lifelong enduring memory of you. An aching regret over what happened to you. u got my highest respect and I honor you.

  • Remembering An American Hero

    Dear SP4 Thomas Carpenter Jr, sir

    As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

    May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

    With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

    Curt Carter

  • NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER

    Posted on 10/13/03 - by Chris Spencer cws71354@bellsouth.net
    It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
