THE WALL OF FACES

The friends and alumni of Gordon State College, formerly Gordon Military College, in Barnesville, GA are constructing a military memorial on the campus to honor Carlton and others who attended or taught at Gordon. Carlton was the older brother of a dear friend and I will always remember an afternoon when he lugged us around on his back, playing with us. I remember thinking how fortunate Donna was to have such a big brother! I never realized that one day I would be part of an effort to honor him. We welcome all family and friends of those who knew and admired Carlton to attend the ceremony Saturday, April 18, 2015. You may contact me, Rhonda Toon, vice president of advancement at 678-359-5124 or [email protected] for further information.

Dear LCPL Carlton Harvey Hood, 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

Rest in peace with the warriors.

Carlton is buried at Lamar Memory Gardens, Barnesville, Lamar Co, GA. PH-GS

Carlton was sort of easygoing in my way of thinking. He was always good to me.
