THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC David Kirk, Thank you for your service as a Mortarman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 5th Day of Christmas, Merry Christmas. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

PFC David M Kirk is resting at Mount St. Benedict Cemetery, Bloomfield, CT

Dear PFC David Michael Kirk, 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
