THE WALL OF FACES

Semper Fi, Corporal.

Dear CPL Richard John Giebe, 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

Richey was my friend I grew up in Granite I lived on Edwards St we walked to school together. I saw Richey for the last time before he shipped out I was at his funeral he was a good Marine. It wasn't long after I to joined the Marine Corp. I still think of him often.

Sincerely. Al Baker
