THE WALL OF FACES

On behalf of all the paratroopers who served with you in the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and all who followed, we offer our respect and remembrance of your ultimate sacrifice. May you never be forgotten and your family and friends take comfort in your valor in serving.

Dear CPL Calvin Lionel Gooch, 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

Honoring those Texas Veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. May his sacrifice not be forgotten.

Calvin is buried at Tanner Cemetery, Burkeville,TX. BSM PH

Although I was not able to fight in the war you and thousands of other Americans risked your lives for the betterment of your country. To me there is no greater honor. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice in defending what is right.
