THE WALL OF FACES

Daniel, I don’t know if we have ever met, I grew up in Belen, our sport teams were rivals but Belen boys dated Los Lunas girls and vice versa. You & I were in Nam at same time. I was In northern part. Think about you a lot especially when I visit family in Belen & Peralta. Thank you for your service and God Bless.

Dear Sp4 Daniel Fernandez,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is Labor Day weekend, and we remember you 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.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Daniel.

Dear SP4 Daniel Fernandez, 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
