THE WALL OF FACES

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.

Private First Class Robert Charles Greathouse, Served with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear PFC Robert Greathouse,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. 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.

PFC David L. Nicholas and PFC Robert C. Greathouse were infantrymen serving with C Company, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division. On October 11, 1969, they were on a company-sized combat operation in Binh Duong Province, RVN, when they made contact with Viet Cong in two tunnels who threw grenades at the Americans. C Company responded by tossing grenades and trip flares into the tunnels which killed two enemy. PFC Nicholas was killed in the engagement and PFC Greathouse and three others were wounded, including a Kit Carson Scout. The wounded were evacuated, Greathouse succumbing to his injuries the following day. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and i-kirk.info]

Dear PFC Robert Charles Greathouse, 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
