THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Mike you were the best friend I had in Viet Nam. Always fun and willing to take a chance with me. Will never forget you. Rest well me friend.

Dear Sgt Michael Kaplafa, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Basic. Your 72nd birthday is in 4 days, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is All Souls’ Day, a day we remember all of you. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Michael was a good friend and neighbor

Dear SGT Michael John Kaplafka, 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, Sir

Curt Carter
