THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Cpl Frank Perry, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. I researched you on the 51st anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is spring, and flowers are blooming. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

My dad was with Frank the day he died. They had become good friends in Vietnam. My entire life I have heard of Frank and how my dad wished he could find his wife and the child she was carrying at the time of his death.

Dear CPL Frank Michael Perry Jr, 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

Frank is buried at Long Island National Cemetery.

Frank, 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 our freedoms.
