Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear Cpl David Herring, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 50th anniversary is in 2 days, sad. It is Memorial Day weekend when we honor you. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels....

Dear CPL David Bounds Herring, 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

David is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, Saraland, Mobile County, AL. BSM
