THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Cpl Craig Rathbun, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Independence Day just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Corporal Craig Rathbun, Served with Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division.

I am grateful for the earlier post on where he was laid to rest, I would never have found it. I was out there earlier today paying my respects and will be in the DC area soon and will do the same at the Wall.

My thoughts are with Craig's family on this 45th anniversary of his passing and with all the families of the many thousands of others who lost their lives in this terrible conflict.

Respectfully....

Dear CPL Craig Rathbun, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

I will be in DC soon and will pay my respects and say my thank you with a heavy heart.
