THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sgt Louis Maher, Thank you for your service as a Cannon Crewmember. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the original Memorial Day, and it is important to remember you. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

You are my great uncle I never met and grandpa is with you now to and I miss him so tell him I said hi.

Dear SGT Louis Joseph Maher Jr, 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

Louis is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Walkerton, IN. PH

I grew up around Louie in the 50's. He lived on the outside of Tyner and I lived in Walkerton. We played little league baseball together and he was the best second baseman I ever played with. Louie, Kenny Pontius, and myself used to go with Louie's father to the switching tower out in the country, he worked for the railroad. We had many great times playing baseball in the pasture next to the tower and riding and old mare named Babe who was pastured there. Louie's father was our baseball coach and both father and son were two of the finest human beings who ever graced this world with their existance. Louie, you will always be my good buddy, we had a great childhood didn't we, I will never never forget you Louie. Thomas V. Gunn, Sgt. Danang South Vietnam 70-71.
