THE WALL OF FACES

DEAR LANCE CORPORAL ANDERSON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE GRUNT. SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Richard.

I just purchased a dog tag with Richard Anderson's name to honor his memory. My Daughter's of the American Revolution Galveston Chapter raised over 2K, with the help of the Lion's Club to contribute to the Marine Corp Coordinating Council to build him a proper memorial at his gravesite for this Medal of Honor awarded soldier. I did not know him, but I greatly value his service and am proud to Honor this soldier during the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam war. He was a very brave man.

He was one of the reasons I went in the service even tho I chose the Army

Dear LCPL Richard Allen Anderson, 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
