THE WALL OF FACES

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

Dear Cpl Dennis Manske, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Tomorrow is your 53rd anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but it is an unusual time. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dennis--you are not forgotten. I attended your funeral with my dad, an American Legion member. While I didn't know you well, I felt your sacrifice deeply then as I do now--46 years later. Today I visited the traveling Vietnam Wall in Montana and found your name. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. You are not forgotten.

Dear CPL Dennis Rudolph Manske, 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

In recognition of your ultimate sacrifice, the Berlin area citizens list your name on the Gold Star Memorial in Riverside Park. Sadly, Freedom is not Free and you will never be forgotten.
