THE WALL OF FACES

You continue to be on my mind often, never forgotten, your memory will never fade. I still miss you even though it has been 45 years. I still talked to you "in my head" and guess I always will. I still wonder what life would have been like if you had made it home. I know you are in heaven and much happier than those of us you left behind, but I still miss your laugh, your smile and your fun personality. You are still "The Kid". I love you and I miss you. My dad passed away tonight, please be there when he arrives. I loved that man too. 'deb

Dear SP4 Edward Erlin Cox 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

May his sacrifice not be forgotten.

May his sacrifice not be forgotten.

Edward is buried at Forest Park Cemetery, Shreveport,LA. ARCOM-OLC PH
