DEAR SP4 AGAR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN AIRCRAFT ARMAMENT REPAIRMAN. YOU WERE BORN ON THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE. SHE IS THE PATRON OF THE AMERICAS. HOPE SHE GUIDES YOU. REST IN PEACE.

Specialist Four Anthony Philip Agar, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division.

Dear SP4 Anthony Philip Agar, 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, Sir Curt Carter
