Thank You
Dear Sgt Walter Garstkiewicz,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Happy Veterans' Day. 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.

always in my heart
Walt, most of us called him "red", was hit in the initial burst and although seriously wounded he courageously and selflessly attacked the enemy's fire.
He saved the lives of his friends including mine.
I spent 9 months with Red, most in the bush.
He had the heart of a lion.....and was Loved by all.
THE BEST DIDN'T COME HOME.
Fredrick E. Gottwald

A distant relative who is my hero and inspired me.
Though I wasn't born but 3 years after you gave the ultimate sacrifice , you were a hero to me growing up. You are my grandmothers nephew.
I didn't know much about you except you gave your life in service of this nation in Vietnam.
Just knowing that you did something greater than yourself made you my hero and it inspired me to serve this nation as well.
I also took the oath and served in the Army, albeit during peace time.
Thank You Ski. I really wish I could have met you but you will always be a part of me in spirit.
P.S. My son looks a lot like you.
