THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Captain Leonard Higdon, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman Unit Commander. Your 49th anniversary just passed, sad. Memorial Day just passed when we honor you all. Please watch over the USA. It stills needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

Was really saddened to hear of your death, always thought a lot of you, enjoyed our friendship and days on the football field, RIP bud.

Dear Captain Leonard Thomas Higdon, 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
