THE WALL OF FACES

Every so often you here a story of how a 'Nam veteran never made it home, to enjoy a special car they bought prior to being deployed. Here are photos of WO Frasch's 1968 Shelby Convertible. His mother never drove it as she couldn't drive a 4speed; this car has 20,000 original miles and is virtually new.

Dear WO Robert Louis Frasch, 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

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Mary Frye – 1932

Robert is buried at Melba Cem, Melba, Canyon Co, ID.
