THE WALL OF FACES

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, and as 2021 approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Dear Sp4 Jerome Leroy, Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Spring! 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.

Its 45 years this week and I've remembered him often since then. Thanks to him for his service and sacrifice, and please God, bless him and keep him.

Jerome, you were the first friend I recall outside of my immediate family. We learned together about the love of our Savior Jesus at St. Paul's in Sunday School as three-year-olds. Later we graduated together from Central H.S. in 1969. I've traced your name on the Memorial Wall and the Virtual Wall many times and shared with my children the story of my quiet unassuming friend who honored our country with his sacrifice.
We'll worship together at the feet of our Savior.

Dear SP4 Jerome Edward Leroy, 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
