THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just seven days after your 20th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you bubba. I miss you everyday. You were my hero when I was a kid and you are still my hero today. I love you bubba. I was only 14 when you went to be with the Lord. Im coming soon and we will spend eternity together. Thank you for everything that you ever did for me and my country.

Dear PFC Dennis Lawrence, Thank you for your service as a Combat Engineer. Yesterday was your 51st anniversary. Your 71st birthday just passed, happy brithday. 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.

Dear PFC Dennis Roland Lawrence, 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
