THE WALL OF FACES

Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before….

Dear Sp5 Robert Pugh, Thank you for your service as a Heavy Construction Equipment Operator. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Independence Day is this weekend. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was watching Bob Hope Christmas Special (1967) on Amazon Prime. The stage at Cam Ranh Bay read "ROBERT E. PUGH MEMORIAL AMPHITHEATER". I looked up the name. There were two identical. The other was KIA two years later. A fitting tribute.

Dear SP5 Robert Earl Pugh, 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 Greenlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Wilmington, New Hanover County,NC. PH
