THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC John McLay, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the Treaty that ended WWII. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Jack it has been so many years but I have never stopped missing you.
I remember the day you left for Vietnam. When I hear a new song I smile because I wonder if you would like it or not. I miss critiquing the top ten with you.
You have always and will always have a place in my heart.
Love N

Private First Class John Jacob McLay Jr., Served with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Well Jack, another year has gone by. So many times I think of you and wish you peace. Maybe some day we'll get together again. Semper Fi, Marine!

Dear PFC John Jacob McLay 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
