THE WALL OF FACES

Your battle brothers still remember you! Photo is from Roy Cantu - a medic who served with Dean. Dean Bell is on the right. Photo was taken at Phuoc Vinh Basecamp, sometime in late 1967 or 1968.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Suzanne Brown is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

DEAR SPEC 5 BELL,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN AIRBORNE QUALIFIED MEDICAL NCO, THANKS FOR THE LIVES YOU SAVED. IT IS A NEW YEAR, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.

Dear SP5 Dean Allan Bell, 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

We think of this special young man, who I first knew in second grade and who remained my friend until he went to Viet Nam.
