THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Larry Dean Austin, Served with Company A, 326th Engineer Battalion, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR PFC AUSTIN,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN AIRBORNE QUALIFIED WIRE SYSTEM INSTALLER. WE ARE CELEBRATING COLUMBUS DAY, AND THE DISCOVERY THAT LED TO US BEING IN AMERICA. THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING AMERICA. REST IN PEACE.

Dear PFC Larry D Austin, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

Larry is buried at Piorneer Memorial Park in San Bernardino, CA.

Larry, Although we never met, I just want you to know you are not forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for what you believed in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for protecting the freedoms we have today.
