Remembered

DEAR SPEC 4 ADAMS,
I WISH YOU HAD A PHOTO GIVEN. YOU WERE ONLY 18 - JUST TOO YOUNG. A HALF CENTURY AFTER YOU WERE LOST, MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS BORN ON THAT SAME DAY.

REST IN PEACE.

Remembering An American Hero

Dear SP4 Larry Adams, 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

My Cousin

Larry Adams was my cousin. At age six I told Larry that I did not want him to leave. I cried and cried. He promised me that he would return home.
My heart sank when I heard about his death. My mother took us to his funeral and when I saw Larry I knew he was at peace.

I will never forget him.
