LEFT FOR HARRIS ALAN FOLMAR

The last time with Alan my Cousin

Alan spent 3 days with me at my trailer my senior year at UGA. He left me on his way to Auburn to visit another friend we grew up with before he went to Nam. I told him to take care of himself. He was like a Brother to me.

Remembering An American Hero

Dear 2LT Harris Alan Folmar, 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

Day of Departure

I remember the day that Alan climbed the steps to board the airliner that began his journey to Vietnam. He stood tall and proud in his uniform while we, the family, wondered what this journey held in store for him. While serving with Company A,4th Battalion, 21st Infantry, 11th Infantry Brigade, south of Duc Pho, he was killed by booby trap shrapnel. His return was a time of sadness for the loss of a young man so dear to us. Despite the loss, we share the pride that Alan had in serving our beloved country. Whether or not one agrees with our involvement in the Vietnam conflict has no bearing on our pride and love for all those young men and women who served.
