THE WALL OF FACES

John was the first casualty of our platoon, it was devastating to the other platoon members, he had just recently been assigned to us; we had no time to know him.....

Thank you PFC Gambrell for your courage in dangerous times, in a far and dangerous place.

Dear PFC John Lawrence Gambrell, 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

John is buried at Bethany Bapt Ch Cem, Decatur Co, GA.
