THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Corporal David Orson Fjerstad, Served with Company C, 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

You looked like a nice young man. It makes me sad that you are gone, even though we never met. Your service was not in vain. You are remembered by many. I wish that I could go back in time and change history. Thank you for your sacrifice. Your short life was far more important to us than you can imagine

Dear Cpl David Fjerstad,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. 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 CPL David Orson Fjerstad, 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
