THE WALL OF FACES

I was only 4 years old when my dad died. It is because of his unselfish sacrifice that led me to work for the Seattle Veteran Administration. I treat all Veterans as if they were my dad.(Special) He will always be my hero.

AWARDS AND CITATIONS

Silver Star

Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Sergeant First Class Robert Foreman, Jr., United States Army, for gallantry in action in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force on 26 March 1970, while serving as a Platoon Sergeant with Troop A, 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, in the Republic of Vietnam. On this date, Sergeant Foreman's unit was acting as a reactionary force to an infantry company. Upon entering the contact area the troop received intense recoilless rifle, rocket-propelled grenade, small arms and automatic weapons fire from two companies of North Vietnamese soldiers. Sergeant Foreman received an intense amount of fire but remained to continue his assault of the bunkers. He repeatedly attacked the entrenched insurgents resulting in the destruction of three enemy bunkers and numerous North Vietnamese casualties. Sergeant First Class Foreman's actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

Dear SFC Robert Foreman Jr, 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
