THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Kathleen Bacom is moving and reflects her eternal love for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

LT John Kaugars was born in Latvia. He is buried in Section 27 of the Myrtle Hill Memorial Park in Tampa, FL.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

It's 50 years since the chopper was shot down 5/22/1970. I write your name, along with the names of pilot Ralph Bigelow and Lt. Neil Hayes, with the hope that my words will reach someone who knew you better than I did. Not a day passes that I do not think of you guys. T.D. Charley Company 1/52 Americal

Dear Lt John Kaugars, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Veterans’ Day is next week. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear 1LT John Kaugars, 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
