THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl John Gilgenberg,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. 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.

John and I grew up together in the same neighborhood. His mom and my mom had morning coffee just about every morning and than she would go over to the Gibbs house for a visit. We shared many memories together with everyone on our block. John you were a brave soldier.

Dear LCPL John Daniel Gilgenberg, 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

John is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Evergreen Park,IL. PH
