THE WALL OF FACES

We grew up together, but attended Roosevelt High School. We fished together and camped out in our backyards together. I loved him like a brother. We were going to do the Route 66 thing when we got out of the Army. Keith died a month before I left for Viet Nam. Great guy and way to young to go. I think of him every week ( since 1970). Love you Keith.

Dear SP4 Keith Sam Arneson, 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

Keith was one of those quiet but very nice guys in our high school. He was an excellent athelete, could dunk the ball, was one of the best athletes on North Catholic's state final 1967 football squad. He appeared to be very quite and unassuming. I remember he showed an act of kindness to me...which was not expected. I was a nobody in the class before him. I always remember him in this way. It was unbelieveable when I heard he was killed in May of 1970. Wonderful guy, wonderful family.
