THE WALL OF FACES

The photograph of Stephen E. Dukehart was graciously provided by his sister, Teresa Ayala. He was one of two Marines who were swept away by an extremely strong current when their patrol was crossing a stream just before Christmas 1966.

Dear PVT Stephen Dukehart,
I hope your photo will be put here because this wall of faces is missing yours. Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Independence Day is approaching, and we remember your sacrifice. 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.

My name is Krysteen Wescott and I am the daughter of Sgt 1st class Robert H Wescott Jr. It meant a lot to me to find your picture.You are remembered.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Dear PVT Stephen Ernest Dukehart, 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
