THE WALL OF FACES

DEAR SPEC 5 BAGSHAW,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MATERIAL CONTROL & ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST. HALLOWEEN IS APPROACHING, AND ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS' DAYS - THE DAYS WE HONOR THOSE WHO LEFT US. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS GUIDE YOU. REST IN PEACE.

I slept next to James in Vietnam. He was a quiet nice guy. We just had a party for the birth of his daughter. I don't know what he was doing driving that Duce an Half on convoy.He was the company clerk.The convoy was ambushed by the North Vietnamese Regulars and killed everyone. I think about him all the time.may he rest in peace. An American Hero

I thought of you many times in the past 50 years. I was in Korea when I read your name in the Stars and Stripes military newspaper. Never forgot that day. We were both married.

Dear SP5 James Malcolm Bagshaw, 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

Maybe some were down the line we are related. I live in the UK and recently in the space of a week my wife leaves and I lose my job. So to put that into perspective I read a book or two about the Vietnam war and my problems are nothing compared to the sacrifices made by you and all the other brave men who were in Vietnam. I believe people should support the troops even if the don't support the war same now as the alies are in afganistan and Iraq support these brave men and women. Your a braver and a much better man than I will ever be. Men like you and all the men on the wall will never be forgotten.
