Dear Rowland, My brother Eddie and I recall the day you picked him up after he fell near JHS 43 and we couldnt get him up from the cellar. I went to school with your brother Dorsey,and recall you working at the Safeway next door.Your death shook the whole projects as you were so well liked and respected by everyone.I vividly remember seeing you in your casket in full dress uniform , and how terrible it was to see you like that. May Allah bless you and Dorsey and remember that we in the neighorhood still still of you and your sacrifice. Until we meet again. Michael Mcloud (Rashad)

Dear PVT Rowland Nathaniel Agard, 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
