THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sp4 Reggie Hinson, Thank you for service as an Infantryman. This week in Flag Day. There is no better way to respect the flag than to honor you all. Watch over the USA, it still needs your strength. Rest in peace with the angels.

Reggie, so sorry you were a casuality of that awful war! I remember us playing together as little boys on the farms in Arkansas! May you rest in peace my friend!

Our grandmothers were sisters in Ark, where we all were born. Very poor country living. Our families came north for better opportunities. For a few years we 5 kids went to school together in Galveston, Ind . You were always a quiet, gentle kid. Never in any trouble.

I remember the day you & your sister Ramonia came by my parents house in Ash Flat, Ark on your way to Vietnam. You were barely 20+ years old, 5'+ tall & 120 lbs. You had been drafted and were apprehensive to go.

Your sister takes care of your grave. My brother John is buried nearby. She also takes care of his grave. We visit both when I come up to Ind.
I will see you again. Big hugs, B

Dear SP4 Reggie Westel Hinson, 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

Reggie is buried at Galveston Cemetery, Galveston, Cass County,IN.
