THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Earl J. Guillory, Served with Battery B, 2nd Battalion, 4th Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 9th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Although it has been 53 years since we last saw each other, I still see your face as it was then. Our time together here was cut short, and I will always miss my older brother.

Dear Sgt Earl Guillory,
Thank you for your service as an Unit Supply Sergeant. 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.

Dear SGT Earl J Guillory, 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

'Lil Earl' as he was known in the family as he was a 'Jr', was the oldest son of a widowed mother with 6 younger brothers and sisters.

He was due to return soon from his 2nd tour in Vietnam.

We wrote to each other during that time of his Army career.

It was a great loss to all of his family and extended family and a serious financial loss also to his mom and siblings.

As in all families where death comes, and especially when it comes early and tragically, the family continues to mourn his loss.
