THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal Charles Leon Hanselman, Served with Company D, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 196th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your friend Dave Dumas is poignant and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Chuck was my bunk mate in basic training at Fort Knox. He was the ultimate "good guy" .Well liked, fun and a straight shooter. We lose our nation's good ones like Chuck way too young . Always remember him as my first friend to lose.Saddened by his loss.

Dear CPL Charles Hanselman,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is now Lent. The war was years ago, but we all need 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.

I was in the 10th grade at Edsel Ford High School when I met Chuck Hanselman and he protected underclassmen from senior bullies on a regular basis. He was highly respected at EFHS by me and many others and he is missed.
