THE WALL OF FACES

I knew allen as a personal friend in high school. His aunt that raised him gave me his marine book which has a couple of pictures of him in it. Allen had a great personality and was a loyal friend and loved by many. His life was hard but he was great. I remember him well. Nona Kay Johnson

Dear PFC Allen Twiggs Iv Merritt, 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

Allen is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Atmore, Escambia County,AL.

You were sent away 4 days before I was born, died shortly after...I wish I had known you...Thank You for the Ultimate sacrifice.
