THE WALL OF FACES

Found the info about your death.

You were murdered by a disgruntled member of your unit. He is on the same panel as you. You were a career military man and deserved better.

HOOAH

Dear FSGT Clarence Lowder, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Senior Sergeant. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. 45 years ago today, the president declared it the end of the war. It was not. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I server with 1st Sgt Lowder in Germany with the 14th ACR. He was a fine NCO and I followed his inspiration through my 26 year career in the Army. He was tough but fair.

FSGT Clarence E. Lowder was a Field Artillery Senior Sergeant serving with Headquarters & Headquarters Battery (HHB), Division Artillery, 25th Infantry Division. He was murdered by a fellow member of his unit following months of racial tension within the unit.

Dear FSGT Clarence Edward Lowder, 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
