Childhood Friend
I know Barry when we were young boys in Susquehanna County, Montrose, PA. I was a junior in high school when he died. Five years later I became a U.S. Army officer through ROTC. I visited "The Wall" and made an etching of his name from the Wall. I kept it on the back of my desk name plate throughout my military and civilian careers to remind me of him and the sacrifice for our country so many have made.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 Barry Vorrath Hopper, 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, Sir
Curt Carter
