THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Joseph Peter Misiaszek, Served with Company C, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear PFC Joseph Peter Misiaszek, 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

Hello, my name is Bryan Jennings and I am a senior at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, RI. I am in a Vietnam class and 24 of my classmates and I have all been assigned a fallen service man and I have been assigned Joseph Misiaszek and I am posting this because I need anybodies help, if you knew this great man please email me at jjcurve@aol.com, and thank you for your time and information.

Private First Class Joseph P. Misiaszek:

I'm writing to you to thank you for serving our country in it's time of need. I have always had an interest in the Vietnam War and I always have been grateful for all the young men that died. PFC Misiaszek, you died while you were scouting for your unit in late May of 1968. You were only my sister's age when you died. I don't know if you have any siblings, but I do and I can picture myself having a really hard time if I got the news that my sister or brother had been killed while fighting for our country. Until my history class and I studied the War, I had no knowledge of this web site. Now because of this site I can come to the Wall anytime to give my thanks to anyone, including you, for giving your life. I know that you fought hard and true for our country and I have nothing but respect for you. It's sad for me to read about you and other soldiers that gave their lives at such an early age, when there was so much life left to live. I, myself, plan on going into the military after I graduate and hope that I can serve with as much honor as you did.

Thank you,
Matthew Fleming

I did not know much about Vietnam until I was assigned this project. I found that men like Joseph gave his life in provinces I never knew existed. I cannot even imagine how much he sacrificed for me and how his life which could have been so rich was taken away at such an early age.
