THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Cpl William Farvour,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman.Another national holiday is coming, and we honor you this Labor Day. 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.

Bill...the memories of our friendship swirl through the gates of time. I remember that last night you were home...it is burned indelible into my soul. I am sorry I could not bring myself to honor you at your funeral. Your loss was too much to bear. I honor you now, on this eve of yet another memorial day.

Corporal William Harold Farvour, Served with Company D, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Who knew Bill, when we graduated that we would never see each other at a high school reunion, ever! I didn't get the chance to thank you for your service, your bravery, or your sacrifice! Bill, thank you! I've been to the Wall, your panel and made a rubbing. You are not forgotten!

Dear CPL William Harold Farvour, 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
