THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service Douglas..........rest in peace........

Thank you for your service Douglas..........rest in peace........

Doug and met in San Francisco on our way to Vietnam. Instead of taking the same flight he took, direct to Vietnam, I made a side trip to Hawaii for the last week I had. I arrived in Dong Ha I Corp G/65 and wrote Doug that I had arrived and would see him on R&R as planed. I received two letters one from Doug about R&R and one from the Army say he had been killed. I had been stationed in Conn before Nam and on my return to Conn I visit with his parents and his grave. After searching the Vertical Wall I saw his name was missing and had it updated to include him. No one who severed in and/or out of uniform in the Vietnam War should ever be forgotten.

Dear SP4 Douglas James Beveridge, 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
