THE WALL OF FACES

Dear SGT Marvin Lewis Noe, 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

Marvin was one year ahead of me in High School. I went on a date with him a few weeks before he left for Viet Nam and that was the last time I saw him. He was such a really nice guy and I had hoped we could see each other again after he returned...but he never did. I was so sad when I read in the Constitution that he was killed. God Bless his family and friends. I still feel sadness when I think of him.

I just wanted to let you know,your old friend Steve Wallace used to talk to me about you. You are not forgotten

Marvin is buried at Fort Sill Post Cemetery, Lawton,OK.

Memorial Day is a time for families, but it also must be time to give thanks and honor those brave men and women who have given their lives in service to their country. For more than two centuries, Americans have been called to defend the founding ideals of our democracy; more than one million have died in answering that call. Memorial Day is meant as a time for a grateful nation to remember those who died in defense of our freedoms.
