THE WALL OF FACES

Dear SSgt Kenneth Mattson, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 52nd anniversary just passed, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but our world is in turmoil. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Staff Sergeant Kenneth Eugene Mattson, Served with Company A, 3rd Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division.

Dear SSGT Kenneth Eugene Mattson, 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

Thank you Staff Sergeant Mattson for your devotion, leadership, and courage.

Kenneth is buried at Natchez National Cemetery.
