THE WALL OF FACES

I was with Michael the day he was killed 4/24/68. He was a great guy well thought of by everyone. He was killed walking point. Our medic was killed trying to get to Mike.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It saddens me so few have left remembrances for you here...surely you deserve better. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Sp4 Michael Cox,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Happy Valentine's Day. 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 SP4 Michael John Cox, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

Michael is buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield, MI. BSM
