THE WALL OF FACES

I helped process SSgt Cross home after he was killed. I was at the same base camp the night of the mortar attack. If I can be of help to anyone that has questions please e mail me.

Dear SSGT Hugh W Cross, 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.

We found each other, and David said he has a picture of you to copy for me. I have lost track of your son, Michael, but possibly because my email address has changed. Please Michael, contact me again and when David makes a copy of Hugh's picture we will make you one. David is also looking for you. I rememeber you telling me all of Hugh's pictures were destroyed in a fire.

Hugh is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills, Ca.
