Remembering an American Hero
Dear PFC John Andrew Barnes III, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.
With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.
Curt Carter

Salute to a Hero
No words, of mine can add to what has already been said about your actions for which you were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Courage and Honor are never out of season. Your bravery will be told as long as warriors commemorate their heroes. May the Lord grant you and your family the peace which we all hope to find when we are called to our Maker.

Thank you for your bravery and courage
Your sacrifice is testament to how courageous and selfless our soldiers were. Though not having the privilege of meeting you as I am of another generation, I respect and admire the gift you gave-- the gift of life to your fellow brothers. I was so moved by your sacrifice, that you are included in a book I wrote that tells of our amazing Vietnam Veterans. More people will hear your story as it should be known by everyone what a wonderful person you were to have sacrificed so much. God bless you, John.
With a heartfelt thank you,
Karen
