THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sp4 Charles Hoffman, Thank you for your service as a Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. Happy Summer in heaven! Please watch over the USA, it still needs your strength. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear SP4 Charles Edwin Hoffman, 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

Charles is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville, TX.

Rest in peace with the warriors.

Charles was two years older than I, but McKinney was a small town, so I remember him, sitting next to me in high school geometry class. He had a good sense of humor. I never saw him again after graduation. I learned of his death in VietNam when I read of it in the local newspaper one morning. I was a bit surprised that he passed the army physical since he was quite a bit overweight. I later learned that he wanted so badly to join up that he went on a diet to lose weight. My wife, the former Marlene Motes, was good friends with his younger sister and visited his house often, where he would delight in teasing the two of them. God bless you, Charles.
