THE WALL OF FACES

It's been 52 years since we were ambushed my friend I think about you and that day, everyday Rest in Peace???

Dear Sgt Douglas Franklin,
Thank yo for your service as an Airborne Qualified Military Policeman. It was just Columbus Day, and another national holiday has arrived. 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.

Doug and I on first day in the bush working with 2/502.

tomorrow will be 50 yeras since we were together in that jeep that hit the land mine. I have tought about that day a every day and continue to pray for you every day my friend. You will never be forgotten Sgt. Rock and always be in my prayers.

Dear SGT Douglas M Franklin, 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
