THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Major Newell Francis Applegate Sr., Served with the 18th Replacement Company, 90th Replacement Battalion, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR SERGEANT MAJOR APPLEGATE,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMY COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR. REST IN PEACE.

Dear Major Newell F Applegate Sr, 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, for those who love you, and for the Sgt's son.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter (son of Sgt. Ardon William Carter, 101st Airborne, died February 4, 1966, South Vietnam)

Newell is buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Eureka, KS. BSM MSM ARCOM-2OLC
