THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Robert Swick, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. The 54th anniversary of your wounding just passed. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was Flag Day. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Bob....Honoring you on your birthday....God Bless

Dear 1LT Robert Michael Swick, 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's father was a first cousin of my father, Delbert Waid. The two men (Duke Swick and Delbert Waid) both served in the Navy in WWII. I would love to reconnect with Bob's family as they are "Waid" cousins.

Robert is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. PH
