THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC Fred Lea, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Your 53rd anniversary is in 2 days, sad. But, I researched you on your 75th birthday. 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.

Private First Class Fred Stanley Lea, Served with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

I'm wondering if this is the same Fred Lea that went to grade school in Sheboygan, WI. ??

Grade school and high school classmates have been wondering.

Dear PFC Fred Stanley Lea, 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
