THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your Mom, Dad, and Kevin is moving and reflects the anguish experienced by so many families that lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Lt Charles Hymers, Thank you for your service as a Rotary Wing Aviation Unit Commander - Helicopter Pilot. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

First Lieutenant Charles Sutherland Hymers III, Served with the 128th Assault Helicopter Company, 11th Aviation Battalion, 12th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear 1LT Charles Sutherland Hymers, 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
