THE WALL OF FACES

Monte was almost always smiling. I met him when we were stateside in the 82nd Abn. We both went to Nam with the 101st and then went different ways. I cried when I heard of his death, and still feel great sadness of his loss. I think of you often, Monte.

Private First Class Paul Allan Conner, Served with Company D, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

Dear PFC Paul Conner,
Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman. 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.

Paul,
You were never forgotten. Your buddy Calvin Heath thought of you every day until his passing in July 2013. Please know you were a very special friend to him and he missed you greatly.

Dear PFC Paul Allan Conner, 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
