THE WALL OF FACES

Lonnie,

I was the first one to you after the explosion. You were a great soldier and the last one I ever expected to be killed. I still don't understand what happened.

I'm 65 years old now and have often thought of you and told my children about what a great guy you were...and about your bravery.

God Bless,

Bruce McCorkle

Lonnie was buried in the Sonora Cemetery in Sonora Kentucky. This is where his parents: William Clarence Fields and Pangie Fields, along several other family members are buried as well.

Dear SP4 Lonnie Dale Fields, 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
