THE WALL OF FACES

I served with Terry at Camp Pendleton prior to deployment to Vietnam. We both volunteered for duty in Vietnam and were the only two to be sent over prior to our unit leaving. Both Terry and I were home based at Marble Mountain Air Facility, Heavy Equipment Section. I was on TAD to Phu-Bai and did not find out until a few days later that Terry was KIA. Semper Fi Terry, you have not been forgotten.

Semper Fi, Corporal.

Dear CPL Terry Lee Ecker, 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

Have not forgotten you after all these years. You died way too young and I will never forget our service together.

Terry, Although we never met, I just want you to know you are not forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for what you believed in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for protecting the freedoms we enjoy today.
