THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from fellow soldier Dave Kruger is moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Dear Sgt John Crandall,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is Presidents' Weekend, and good time to remember those who serve. 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.

Sergeant John Paul Crandall, Served with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 196th Infantry Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

john and I rode the bus together from Chicago to Fort Knox and were together entire time in service. John died a few feet in front of me. Ill never forget that day. John was truly a great friend and companion thru out are tour of duty. I dearly miss him to this day. I loved that second platoon Charlie co. and all the guys in it. We were a very close knit group of guys. I remember the day Roger Dixon, john and I got our sgt stripes at the same time and how proud we were. Three close friends indeed. thanks john, ill remember you always

Dear SGT John Paul Crandall, 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
