THE WALL OF FACES

Dear PFC Marion Robb, Thank you for your service as a Military Policeman. Yesterday was your 52nd anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

PFC Marion C. Robb was a military policeman serving with A Company, 504th MP Battalion. On September 11, 1969, he was recreational swimming in the South China Sea when a strong current swept him under the surface and he drowned. His body was recovered.

Marion was a classmate of mine in High School and College. I was in charge of the color guard at his funeral.

Dear PFC Marion C Robb, 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

Thank you PFC Robb for carrying more than your share of the load.
