THE WALL OF FACES

We never had a chance to meet each other, I was born long after you were gone, but I have known you my entire life. Grandma has missed you every day and she still loves you so much. You will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear Sp4 Gary Landon, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. I researched you on your 73rd birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. For many of us, we have begun Lent. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I remember this day as if it were yesterday. We were flown by slicks into the area. We crossed the bridge and were sent into the wood line. All hell broke loose and we were in mortal combat with a large force of VC and probably NVA. The battle lasted quite some time and we took many casualties. Gary fought with great courage and valor. He was a great guy and I was very upset when I heard he was gone. Blessings to his family and all who held him dear.

Dear SP4 Gary Joseph Landon, 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
