THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Carlton Coe Gray, Served with Company C, 158th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 101st Aviation Group, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just two days before your 20th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Thinking of you today, Coe, as I often do. Your birthday is one day later than mine. I miss you, but, like so many, I'll never forget you.

Dear Sgt. Gray, today you would be 70. You and I share the same year and month of birth, albeit one week apart. We also share the same surname.
Rest in peace, sir.

Dear Sgt Carlton Gray,
Thank you for your service as a Flight Qualified Aircraft Maintenance Apprentice. 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.
