THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Susan Leh Horning is moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

We were in the same platoon in OCS Class 20A-67 Fort Sill. He died the exact day I arrived in Vietnam. Great guy...everyone enjoyed his company.

Dear Captain Francis Girardot,
Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Unit Commander. Merry Christmas. 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.

MIKE DRAKE THE PILOT AND I WERE TO FLY THAT MISSION I HAD AN EAR INFECTION AND WAS GROUNDED AND JOHN TOOK MY PLACE.I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED IF I COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE CRASH.I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MIKE DRAKE AND I GRADUATED FLIGHT SCHOOL TOGETHER AND WERE CLOSE FRIENDS IT STILL HURTS.

Dear Captain Francis Michael Girardot, 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
