THE WALL OF FACES

May those who served never be forgotten. We can never truly repay the great debt we owe our fallen heroes. Rest in peace SSGT. Dye, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died on my 19th birthday. I am now 73 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Staff Sergeant Melvin Carnills Dye, Served with the 57th Assault Helicopter Company, 52nd Aviation Battalion, 17th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear SSGT Melvin Dye,
Thank you for your service as a Huey, UH-2 Helicopter Repairer. I am glad you were identified in 2009. Yesterday was Independence Day, 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.

When your brother told me what happened we cried together. Toughest kid on ash St, I am glad to hear of your return. Respectfully, the proffit family,
