THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sgt Edward Himes, Thank you for your service with the 1st Aviation Brigade. This week is Flag Day, and there is no better way to respect the flag than respect all of you. Watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

I served with Ed and we were friends from July 1971, til his departure, at base Que Son, near QuiNhon, Vietnam. I have thought of him always and was recently able to travel to WA, DC via an Honor Flight and able to etch his name from the WALL. His family members are welcome to contact me.

Me Himes were good friends i was to be whith him but they changed my orders about for hours before we left they put nickols in my place this has bothered me for the last 44 yrs rip to both

Dear SP4 Joseph Michael Rodrigues, 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
