THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear SGT Jack McCann, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but our world needs help. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

SGT Jack W. McCann, SGT Raymond C. Holt, and SGT Carver J. Vaughn served with K Troop, 3rd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry. On December 27, 1970, the three soldiers were on a dismounted patrol in Binh Duong Province, RVN. At approximately 6:58 PM, while setting up a night defensive position, one of the men stepped on a hostile land mine place there by the Viet Cong. McCann, Holt, and Vaughn were killed after suffering abdominal and head injuries from the blast. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

Dear SGT Jack William McCann, 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
