THE WALL OF FACES

It’s been 47 years and you crossed my mind today. I didn’t know you well, but I kept your memory in my mind and heart. You were my cousin, a part of my family. I had the opportunity to later meet your lovely wife and baby. It was an honor to read about you for the first time today.

I was flying with B Troop,2/17, when I heard of Danny's death. Danny and his wife were friends of my wife and myself stateside. I still carry and always will carry wonderful memories of him.I know he is with our Lord in Heaven.

Dear Lt Danny Cowan,
Thank you for your service as an Armored Reconnaissance Unit Commander - General Staff. 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.

Danny Cowan and I were members of the Second Squad, 9th Battalion, Infantry OCS, Ft. Benning Georgia. We graduated in September 1969. Danny always has an easy way about him, always smiling, and was a good leaders. He was eager to go to flight training and members of the squad both proud of his acceptance and wished him well. Not long after arriving in Vietnam in September of 1971, I learned of Danny's passing. My heart was sick. We had lost several in our class, but since Danny was a friend it hit hard. As of this writing in 2016, I think of him often. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear 1LT Danny Allen Cowan, 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
