THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Sp4 Denis Mattheis, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Independence Day just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Specialist Four Denis Duane Mattheis, Served with Company C, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

Met Denis when I was very young, about 8-9 years old. Denis was my Mother's Cousin, but he was the same age as me. I was wounded in Vietnam in March of 1967 and spent many months in Hospital. I was most likely in Hospital when we lost him.

Dear SP4 Denis Duane Mattheis, 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
