THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sgt Ehrhard Pohl, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Memorial Day weekend when our nation remembers those of you who paid the ultimate price. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Every year when I go see your grave. There it is. I sit and I cry. And it doesn't change a thing. I just hope you didn't suffer too much. I tried to make you proud. You were so smart and I was right up there with you, eventually. But it did take awhile. Miss you forever.

Semper Fi, Sergeant.

Dear SGT Ehrhard Hans Konrad Pohl, 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
