THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC Michael Cruitt,
Thank you for your service as a Machine Gunner. 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.

I WAS WITH HIM ,I MISS HIM AND NEVER FORGET ,I AM SO SORRY,A LIFE TO SHORT, I WAS HIS A GUNNER,

Dear PFC Michael Douglas Cruitt, 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
