THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Cpl Robert Padgett, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Tactical Wire Operations Specialist. I researched you on your 73rd birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun, and today is the last day of standard time. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Cpl Robert J Padgett was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star (Merit) and the Purple Heart (Coffelt Database).

Never to be forgotten.

Dear CPL Robert Jerry Padgett, 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

Robert is buried at Shadnor Cemetery in Union City, GA. PH
