THE WALL OF FACES

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

Dear Sp4 Charles Heath,
Thank you for your service as a Heavy Vehicle Driver. It's the 44th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, sad. 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.

Charles and I went to Idalia Elementary School and also Lincoln High School together. He was a good friend to me and loved by my mother who taught at both schools. 10 or 12 years ago, I visited the wall and traced his name and have it in my home. I'm Mike Shirley. My mother's name who taught Charles in both places was Mary Shirley. Charles and I would both be 72 now but he gave his life as a young man to purchase the freedom I have enjoyed all these years.

Charles is missed by everyone. He was well liked in school. We went to schoo and church together. Had good times together with his family.Miss you.

Dear SP4 Charles Edward Heath, 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
