THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your wife Elaine is poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Major Sammie D Hoff was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his exemplary skill and courage under fire while serving as a Pilot, Tactical Fighters, with the 497th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force.

Dear Major Sammie Hoff, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Fighter Pilot. I am glad you were identified in 1989. WELCOME HOME. Happy Summer in heaven! Please watch over the USA, it still needs your strength. Rest in peace with the angels.

I wore his MIA bracelet for a long time, until all the plating was gone from the inside. In going through some old mementos recently, I came across the bracelet and thanks to the internet learned there was finally some resolution to his story. My thoughts are with him, Capt Robinson and their families as we pass Veterans Day and move towards Thanksgiving. RIP guys. Thank you.

Dear Major Sammie Don Hoff, 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
