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.

Dear PFC George Gonsalves,
Thank you for your service as a Journalist. Tomorrow is your 51st anniversary, sad. 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.

Life was simple growing up in Hawaii as kids. We use to play at the park near our house all the time. Then you moved to Oregon. I was in the Army when my grandmother told me you had been killed in Viet Nam. It pained me then and it still pains me of the young men who gave the utlimate sacrifice for their country.
In May of that year I went to Viet Nam and life wasn't simple anymore. You will never be forgotten.

Dear PFC George Greart Gonsalves, 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
