THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just four days before your 26th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Sergeant Thomas Lewis Becker, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR SERGEANT BECKER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A GRUNT. I HATE THAT YOU DIED 4 DAYS FROM YOUR BIRTHDAY. SIGH. THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IS OVER, AND IT IS A NEW YEAR, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.

Dear SGT Thomas Lewis Becker, 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
