THE WALL OF FACES

Dear SP4 Kirby Lynn Hamby, 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

Kirby is buried at Griffith Cemetery, Glenmary, Scott County,TN.

Brothers

KIRBY LYNN HAMBY

and

LANNY MAYES HAMBY

were both killed in Vietnam.


Kirby on 08 June 1968

and

Lanny on 14 October 1969





YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NOR SHALL YOU EVER BE

I read on his brother Lanny's rememberances that he had a brother also killed in Vietnam. No family should ever have to sacrifice 2 sons in 1 war. I served as a Marine grunt in 1969. His family has my deepest sympathy.

Kirby, Although we never met, I just want you to know you are not forgotten. You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for what you believed in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for protecting the freedoms we have today.
