THE WALL OF FACES

PS - Happy 73rd birthday today.

Dear Cap. Donald Kilpatrick, Thank you for your service as a Rotary Wing Aviation Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Advent, and we are beginning our preparations. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Captain Donald Robert Kilpatrick, Served with the 187th Assault Helicopter Company, 269th Aviation Battalion, 12th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade.

My Dearest Don,
Forty six (46) years go today, September 2, 1969, war took you from us, God received you, I was eight (8)...everyday of my life I have thought about you, loved you, missed you, the loss never leaves, but the memories are wonderful!! Wish I could have had many more conversations with you, I know my life would have been so different had you been able to stay with me. Thanks for teaching many life lessons in a short amount of time, your son Michael is an incredible man! I know you are proud! Enjoy mom and dad and save a spot for the rest of us,
You were gone way to soon...Getting in touch with the hole in my soul today. All my love,

Dear Captain Donald Robert Kilpatrick, 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
