Never forgotten.

Dear Cap. Dewey Heroy, Thank you for your service as an Engineer Officer. It is almost Memorial Day when we honor you. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels....

On July 7, 1969, a U.S. Marine Corps M151 jeep and a refueler truck were returning to Dong Ha Combat Base from the Cam Lo District on Highway QL-9 when the refueler hit a mine, three miles northeast of Cam Lo in Quang Tri Province, RVN, resulting in one wounded and significant damage to the refueler. Approximately 45 minutes later, the M151 jeep also hit a mine. B Company Commander of the 11th Engineer Battalion, CAPT Dewey W. Heroy, and FSGT Paul H. Sheehan were killed in the blast. The driver survived with wounds. The M151 was a total loss. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

Dear Captain Dewey William Heroy, 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
