THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It saddens me so few have posted remembrances for you here...surely you deserve better. May you rest in eternal peace.

Sergeant First Class Charles Oakes Baker II, Served with the 85th Ordnance Detachment, 45th General Support Group, United States Army Support Command (Qui Nhon), 1st Logistical Command, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR SERGEANT 1ST CLASS BAKER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD) SPECIALIST (INSTRUCTOR). 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.

Dear SFC Charles Oakes Baker II, 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

Charles is buried at Riverside (Holy Cross) Cemetery, Yarmouth, Maine. BSM ARCOM
