THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Martin Keogh, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Thanksgiving, so this is the perfect time to say thanks. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

We became good friends during Basic training at Ft.Dix starting in July 1968.

Thought he went to school at Villanova but not sure.Often thought about him

over the years....great guy and so sorry.

My daughter Carly Keogh and I, Steve, visited the memorial in July and were saddend that there are two Keogh's that did not survive the fight in Vietnam. We are so gratefu, for their sacrifice and pray their families have healed from their certain grief.

Dear 2LT Martin Jerome Keogh, 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

Jerry...I think of you often. We rode the Stanford Local from Larchmont to New Rochelle, trying to keep one car ahead of the conductor. I remember reading about the first battles in the Vietnam War in the New York Times on that train with you. Your early death will always be a source of pain for me. You were a gentle, charming soul. I miss you.
