THE WALL OF FACES

Major Leikam, you never had the opportunity to meet your beautiful niece Rhonda - daughter of your older sister Lucille. She was 2 months old when you were taken from us. She is the love of my life. Thank you so very much for your service to this great nation. Rest assured you are not forgotten. I look forward to the honor of meeting you one day on the other side. Rest in peace.

Dear Major Norman Leikam, Thank you for your service as a Fixed Wing Aviation Unit Commander with the 1st Cavarly. 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.

Major Leikam and his family were our neighbors and he flew with my father, LtCol Roger J. Bartholomew. I remember the Leikams and wanted to write in case his family sees this. Our family cried for you and your loss at the time, and we prayed you would be all right. A few years later when my own father was shot down, I remembered that we were not the only ones who lost a daddy, and our family has NEVER forgotten Norm Leikam. His photo is familiar, even though I was very small when he and my dad were friends. Blessings to all the Leikams. Your dad was a true patriot and is one of my heroes. Sincerely, Laura Bartholomew Armstrong

My Grandpa (Robert Leikam Jr.) is your nephew and I am thankful for you that served our country. I always hear stories of you with my grandpa when he was younger. I wish I could of met you. Greatly misses!

Dear Major Norman Alexius Leikam, 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
