THE WALL OF FACES

Corky, my brother, it's been almost fifty years since that horrible night when you died. I have been able to have a wonderful life, a life that I truly owe to you. You made the ultimate sacrifice to a friend, one who will never forget. Thank you and rest in peace my brother.

Dear Cpl William Corcoran,
Thank you for your service as an Assault Amphibious Vehicle Repairer/Technician. 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.

Dear CPL William Richard Corcoran, 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

William is buried at Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens West, Hollywood, Broward County, FL.
