THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It is heart-breaking to learn you were killed so very close to your end of tour. As long as you are remembered you will never truly die....

I didn't know William. My husband was Billy Ray Parker. I was told William was his best friend while over there. I also was told that they died side by side. They are having a reunion in Branson this year for the 25th infantry, Manchu warriors and to honor both William and Billy Ray. It will be my first time going. They say they have been looking for me for awhile. I'm so glad they found me. Now I can hear some things about my Bill while he was there. I wish William had some family. It would be nice to meet them and learn something about the man Billy Ray was close to. I'm assuming the one on the left is William. Billy Ray is on the right.

Sgt Airlie from one vet to another thank you for your service! You sir and many before and so many after have showed strength in your defense of the weak and timid! As a retired member of the US Air Force I made a commitment that our hero's from Vietnam will never be forgotten. I trust you are in the arms of The Lord and graciously bow before you. God bless America and god bless Jesus Christ!

Bill and I were classmates at Redford Union High School. We were in Charlie Co 4th Bn 9th Inf 25th Infantry in Tah Ninh province. I was the 4th platoon or weapons platoon Seargent. Bill's was in the 2nd platton and his deros date was May 23rd, 1970. Mine was 3 days earlier, May 19. We talked of hooking up at Fort Ord when we processed out and returning home together but Bill never showed. He was killed in Cambodia on my deros date. He had just 4 days to go. Such a waste. God Bless you Bill.

Dear SGT William Clark Airlie, 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
