THE WALL OF FACES

Dear LCPL Victor Patrick Andreozzi, 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

The Barrington River bridge was dedicated in honor of Victor P. Andreozzi.

The last time I saw you was at my house, in front of the fireplace, we sat together alone. You in your uniform and about to ship over to Vietnam the next day. I was 17 (am 53 now!). I was nervous and scared that I might not ever see you again, you assured me that "NOTHING will happen to me!".
You were a wonderful, caring man and I adored you. I think of you often and will forever miss you.

When I look at my life, my age, my accomplishments, they do not even compare to what you have done. I am a mere 17 years old, just three years younger than you were when you perished at Quang-Tri. But in those three years you did a lifetime of things that I will never get to do. Thank you! For that you'll always be remembered.

This is for you
My courageous neighbor
You had so much to see
and so much to learn
Yet you chose to serve your country
and liberate the unfortunate
being oppressed by communism
So to you LCPL Victor Andreozzi
I salute you
you fought well
But finished young
and still made your family
Rhode Island
and your country
proud that your heart and soul
were into the very meaning of the United States
Freedom
