THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Robert Price, Thank you for your service with the 6200th Field Maintenance Squadron. Your 81st birthday just passed, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Summer begins today. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

1LT Robert H. Price served with 6200th Field Maintenance Squadron, 6200th Air Base Wing, 13th Air Force. On January 1, 1966, he died of heat inhalation and severe burns attempting to contain a fire in building 7319 at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

Dear 1LT Robert Hugh Price, 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
