DEAR SPEC 5 BANGS,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A WATERCRAFT OPERATOR. ELECTION DAY IS TODAY - WATCH OVER AMERICA. IT STILL NEEDS YOUR GRACE. VETERANS' DAY IS APPROACHING - SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AND HONOR ALL OF YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS GUIDE YOU. REST IN PEACE.

Thank you Spec. 5 Bangs for your leadership and courage under fire.

It has been 44 years and I still remember those afternoon track workouts at EL Camino HS. We both entered the Army, but you made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. God be with you always. Your friend

Dear SP5 Christopher Delbert Bangs, 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
