THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wore/wear you MIA bracelet are touching. I am heartened you returned home after the passage of so many years though I wish it had been under very different circumstances. May you rest in eternal peace.

My dad ,Bob Austin was your cousin. He fought in Vietnam from 1966-1972. I learned about you when I was 20 and went to Arlington. He asked for an etching of your name and shared how brave you were. He looked up to you and missed you. I know he wished both of you could have come home together. When he passed, I found an article of your homecoming he had tucked away in a box of important items. He never shared your full story with me. The etching was right there with it. Thank you for your service and I know you’re enjoying your time up in Heaven together.

I live in Charlotte,NC area. I’m a history buff. I was reading about the Vietnam War and dreamed about it that evening. In the dream there was a man named Charles Hunneycutt. I was telling the soldiers that they are heroes ,etc. Then I awoke from my dream. Just figured it was a dream triggered by my reading. The next day, I put Charles name in Google. I was astounded to read that he was a real person, from Charlotte,NC and served in Vietnam. I was saddened to read he was KIA. In my Internet searching, I found I could purchase his POW/MIA bracelet. I felt moved by this whole experience and am wearing his bracelet. He will be in my daily prayers for the rest of my life. I have no “earthly” explanation of this entire series of events. I just know this young man has touched my heart.

I was one year ahead of Jerry at Duke, '64. We were fraternity brothers and friends. I served in the Army in Vietnam long after Jerry was killed, but didn't learn of his death until years later.
RIP, Jerry.

I wore a Capt.Charles Huneycutt bracelet for many years.Just recently found it in an old stack of letters.Still remembering him with gratitude and a sense of loss.May his memory be forever acknowledged and respected.Were we to meet today we would be the same age and live in NC. ,not from each other.....
