THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service.

Paul you were my childhood friend who loved to get me into mischief and play in the neighborhood until way past dark. I so wish you were around so I could tease you back. God love you for your sacrifice. In my heart forever.

Dear 2LT Paul Martin Mcgrath, 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

I always picture you in the kitchen, in dress blues, talking to my dad. An old Jarhead ( 42 in 68) talking to you about combat. I hung on every word. Never got to thank you for taking me to my first baseball game at Yankee Stadium. I remember , with glee, riding my first subway, so cool! Stand watch Marine, keep protecting us.

I remember meeting Paul at Villanova. He always stood out as one of the most happy, enthusiastic and friendly people I have ever met. I also remember hearing of his loss in Vietnam, and it affected me greatly. He was a great patriot and very fine young man. I am proud to have known him.
