THE WALL OF FACES

DEAR LANCE CORPORAL BELL,
I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL POST YOUR PHOTO BECAUSE THIS WALL OF FACES NEEDS YOUR FACE. THANKS FOR BEING A GRUNT. SEMPER FI.
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 LCPL Lester 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

Lester is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Miami,FL.

Playing cards in a bunker, with a pancho hanging so we could light a candle and not be seen outside, and tossing a grenade once in a while and explaining to the company that we thought we heard something...who would believe we were just unafraid and together.
I Loved you then my Brother, and I still do. Jerry
