THE WALL OF FACES

Thomas Eugene Czzowitz, you travelled across the United States with my brother, Paul Otto Gumto, where you both went on to Hawaii to prepare for your tours in Vietnam. My husband, Dan, and I have done many rubbings of your name on The Wall, Panel 2. Dan's tour in Vietnam was from 7/68 - 7/69. Even though I never met you, I always remember you on Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. When Paul passed on March 15, 1982, I am sure you were reunited. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

Dear Cpl Thomas Czzowitz,
Thank you for your service as an Artillery Forward Observer. The holidays are coming, enjoy them in heaven. 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 CPL Thomas Eugene Czzowitz, 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

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Corporal Czzowitz, you were the very essence of DUTY!...HONOR!...and COUNTRY! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! You were one brave man who did brave deeds for our America! You fought for the right without question or pause! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERRY American citizen! In your youth and strength...your love and loyalty...you had given all that mortality can give to defend liberty everywhere!
Butler is very proud of you! You had sacrificed your life so that freedom and justice may live! You had lived up to the motto of the Corps!---SEMPER FIDELIS!---and to the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land!...an ideal SO NOBLE that it arouses in all of us a sense of pride, and yet, of humility! I strongly and honestly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I greatly and immensely admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Walton-on-Thames's own Julie Andrews, England's musical; queen, and London's own Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England, would be very proud of your service to America, and the sacrifices you made to keep us and our country free! Well done, Corporal! Be thou at peace.
