DEAR PRIVATE ATKINS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE ANTITANK ASSAULTMAN. SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.

I grew up with David. He was not from Newark but was from Kearny NJ. And he lived on Windsor St. He was my friend and is still missed and thought of often. Thank you for your sacrifice

Dear PVT David Bruce Atkins, 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
