THE WALL OF FACES

Second Lieutenant Robert William Donahue Jr., Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear Lt Robert Donahue,
Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander with the 1st Cavalry. May 30 was the original Memorial Day, and we remember all you who gave their all. 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.

P.S. - Tomorrow is your 70th birthday. Happy Birthday!

Dear 2LT Robert William Donahue 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

Bob and I played Little League together. As teenagers we reconnected. I was honored to carry you to the grave site and will never forget you. Bob You are forever young.

I think that only two of us from the Archmere Academy Class of 1966 went to Vietnam. Back in those days, even Prep school boys could go to war.

Bob is in my thoughts whenever the Vietnam era sparks in my brain.
