THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Donald Conn,
Thank you for your service as a Field Radio Operator. It is 2018, Happy New Year. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Thank you, LCpl Conn, for your service to our country. You and I exchanged a handful of letters while you were in Viet Nam, and I was in school at Sacred Heart Jr. High in Boulder. It was a class project. I honor you every Memorial Day and your death is one of the big reasons I work for peace, every day.

He was the best of us, and a friend forever.

Dear LCPL Donald Warren Conn 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
