THE WALL OF FACES

War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

Dear Lcpl David Jalbert, Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It's the end of summer and Labor Day. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

We went to school together, rode the same school bus, through Perryville and down the Post Road. As often as the wall is near, I use your name as a touchstone for the youth of today. Dennis, Beverly and I will always remember

Dear LCPL David Michael Jalbert, 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

I have the greatest honor to read your name during the 'Reading of The Names', at The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, on November 9, 2012.

You will always be remembered by me and a most grateful nation.

Thank you LCPL David M. Jalbert for your service to America. Rest in Peace Brother.
