THE WALL OF FACES

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

Dear Cpl Charles Merritt, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I remember you before you gone into the service , You was a great guy we went to church together and we was in the youth group together ,I knew your mother and father and sister, I will always think of you as a young guy LOVING his GOD. Thank you for your life you gave to your country . Tell we meet again some day R.I.P. It was my honor to have know you . Gene Potter

A little after midnight on December 28, 1969, Viet Cong sappers attacked the northern perimeter of Alpha Company who were hunkered down in foxholes they dug the afternoon before in the Ho Bo Woods in Binh Duong Province 20 km north of Cu Chi. The three VC sappers snuck up on 3-6’s position and threw satchel charges and hand grenades and fired Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) into 3-6’s foxhole and the foxholes to the west. They then opened up with AK-47’s. A total of eight members of the third platoon were killed. They included 2LT John W. Foreman, SGT Robert L. Emery, CPL Terry A. Thornton, CPL Charles E. Merritt, SP4 Danial “Whitey” G. Heiderich, CPL Allen R. Rader, CPL Otis Carthage Jr., and CPL Roger D. Cox.[Taken from i-kirk.info/2nd14th]
