THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. I am especially moved by the remembrances from those who read your name during past Reading of the Names ceremonies at the Wall as it will be my honor to participate in that ceremony this November. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace PFC. Gonzales, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family. Semper Fidelis!

Private First Class Nicholas Valeria Gonzales, Served with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 26th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Dear PFC Nicholas Gonzales,
Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Epiphany. 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.

Dear PFC Nicholas Valeria Gonzales, 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
