THE WALL OF FACES

You were an example to me in elementary school as to what it means to be of service to others. I had to take a test at another BOE building from #11 school, and since you were a couple years older, you were my "escort".
I have always remembered you.

Dear Cpl Carmine Novembre, Thank you for your service as a Machine Gunner. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Corporal Carmine Novembre, Served with Company D, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force

Here is a photo of Carmine (right) with his date for the prom in 1963. I was with my boyfriend at the time, Angelo Coiro. Carmine was Angelo's good friend and he fixed him up with my friend, Evelyn.

Dear CPL Carmine Novembre, 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
