THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Rest in eternal peace.

DEAR SPEC 4 ADAMSKI,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A COMBAT ENGINEER. REST IN PEACE IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGELS.

Three of us were charged with being the honor guard for any services. We were issued an extra pair of boots to keep clean, The only time we were needed was for Dennis. Our Captain came to see us just before the service. He gave each of us 7 blank bullets for the 21 gun salute and apologized to us as our weapons (M 16) were not outfitted for blanks which would make the salute cumbersome. But he could not get permission for live rounds. Once again he lamented the problem. After he walked out all of us (without saying a word to each other) threw away the blanks and loaded live rounds. There was no way we were going to lessen Dennis memorial service.

Dear SP4 Dennis James Adamski, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

I spoke to Dennis just minutes prior to being on the boat that got ambushed and he lost his life.
I took these photos you have posted; the first photo is on the ship heading to Vietnam,Oct. 1966; the second was in our orderly room at Ft. Riley, KS.
