THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Richard Alan England, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam. He was assigned to Company D, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, when he was killed in action.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died on your 21st birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear PFC Richard England,
Thank you for your service as a Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. I hate that you passed on your birthday, so sad. 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.

Dear PFC Richard Alan England, 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, Sir

Curt Carter
