THE WALL OF FACES

Dear LTC Roscoe Henry Fobair, 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

Purchased a metal POW-MIA bracelet while in high school in Hawthorne,California of LTC Fobair. Still have the bracelet and am
sorry to hear he died in capture. Hope he didn't suffer to much at the
hands of the enemy. Thank You for all you did in the service of this
country for all our freedoms!!!! Richard Lynn Clark USA

My parents are members of the Lenexa, KS VFW and we all had MIA/POW bracelets. Roscoe H. Fobair was the name on mine. I didn't know him and have always remembered his name of Veteran's Day, Memorial Day and Flag Day. When I went to Washington DC in 1997, I visited the Wall and found his name. I still have the rubbing I made.

On Silver wings
They Flew The Skies
These Brave Young Men
Who Fought And Died
When Duty Called
They Went So Brave
Now Families Mourn
Beside Their Grave
Who Can Forget
What Courage They Had
Some Have,Some Did
And That's So Sad
