THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Staff Sergeant Mervin Dennis Golden, Served with Detachment B-20 (2nd Mobile Strike Force Command), Company B, 5th Special Forces Group, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear SSgt Mervin Golden,
Thank you for your service as a Special Forces Qualified Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 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.

"Goldie" was a tough little s___t. Took out more than a dozen enemy by himself.
He died falling on a live grenade.
He wanted to be a teacher after the war.

Dear SSGT Mervin Dennis Golden, 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
