THE WALL OF FACES

Dear 2LT Dale Allen Perkins, 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

Dale and I were stationed first with NORAD in Winthrop,MA. We were both shipped off to Korea in'62, then to ElPaso in '64. I was discharged in '64. Dale re-upped and went to OCS. He was a dear friend for the 3 years I knew him. Can't wait to meet him again in Paradise.

Dale, Although we never met,
I just want you to know you are
not forgotten. You gave the ultimate
sacrifice, your life for what you believed
in. Sleep well my friend, and thank you
for protecting the freedoms we enjoy
today.

Dale is buried at Willamette Nat Cem.
