THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. May you rest in eternal peace.

DEAR LIEUTENANT BENTON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN INFANTRY UNIT COMMANDER WITH THE 1ST CAVALRY. THIS WAS THE UNIT OF A FRIEND'S TWIN. SAY HI TO MIKE. IT IS 2017, 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.

First Lieutenant Henry Edwin Benton Jr., Served with Company A, 5th Battalion, 7th Calvary Regiment, 1st Calvary Division.

Dear 1LT Henry Edwin Benton Jr, 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

Butch was my uncle. I hope he would be proud to know that two of his nephews are still fighting with him for our flag. We will never forget.
