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 Sgt Calvert Johnson, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It's the end of summer. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Jimmy my brother, you will never know how much you were loved and missed by your family and friends. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the good times we had as kids growing up in our wild and crazy family.
You are a hero(Silver Star) earned in Operation Attleboro November 8, 1966.
You volunteered for Vietnam when you did not have to, because your father Calvert Johnson was killed in France in WW2 on Dec1, 1944. I had just been discharged from the Army in 64 and I told you that since you were the only son that you did have to go but you told me that it was your duty and that you were going to go. You were my hero from that moment on. Jimmy you were truly one of a kind; a funny guy and just an amazing person,
Rest in Glory my cousin and brother

Dear SGT Calvert James Johnson, 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

Calvert is buried at Spring Hil Cemetery,Lynchburg, Lynchburg City, VA.
