THE WALL OF FACES

I read your remembrances and found multiple about how you always carried a comb around. My parents used to do the same, and I will leave their combs and this letter next to your name.
Thank you for your service to our great country.

you for doing that.
I am 14 years old and live in between Los Angeles and San Diego. We share the same last name but have no relation to each other. My school takes an eighth grade trip to Washington D.C. and each student picks a veteran on the wall.

Dear Carl William Mann,
Thank you for all you have sacrificed for our country. Your service greatly helped our country’s effort to win the war in Vietnam. I’m sure that coming from Alabama to Southeast Asia was a huge culture shock and I commend you for

Private First Class Carl William Mann, Served with the Communications Platoon, Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Dear PFC Carl William Mann, 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
