THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Gordon Reeves, Thank you for your service as a Machine Gunner. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is the 57th anniversary of the 2nd Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi.

Hi Mike,
Your family and mine miss you terribly. You were a talented gymnast in high school. You were kind to a little neighbor girl. I regret not being able to know the fine man you would have become.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Dear LCPL Gordon Michael Reeves, 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
