THE WALL OF FACES

You were gone before I was born but I've been fortunate to inherit many things from you. Through Grandma (your mother),Papa (your father), Mom (your sister), Uncle (Your brother) and many others who remind me they knew you, your values, legacy, and sacrifice are remembered and honored. Thank you for your service. God speed until that day we can meet face to face.

Dear SP4 John William Massey 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
