THE WALL OF FACES

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 Sp4 Robert Dieffenbach,
Thank you for your service as a Flight Qualified Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. It has been too long, and it's about time 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.

Specialist Four Robert W. Dieffenbach Jr., Served with the 54th Medical Detachment, 498th Medical Company (Air Ambulance), 67th Medical Group, 44th Medical Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Robert and I were in Medic training at Ft. Sam Houston...I was wounded in combat and recovering at Cam Rahn Bay when Robert was admitted...the hospital was basically tents on a beach and it was great to be out of the jungle and to meet up with him. He had a fever of unknown origin and was being treated...he was stationed in Saigon and in good spirits...I was jealous of his assignment as mine was daily patrols in the jungle..he seemed happy and invited me to DE when we got out...parents had bought him a corvette...a stort time after leaving the hospital I saw his name as a causality in Stars and Stripes...I assumed his helicopter was hit on the way back...RIP buddy, see you soon.

Dear SP4 Robert W Dieffenbach Jr, 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
