THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It is ironic that you became a citizen while training in the military and then made the supreme sacrifice for our nation. May you rest in eternal peace.

DEAR CORPORAL BOETS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MACHINE GUNNER. SEMPER FI. IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG FOR ALL OF YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE. YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS. IT IS EASTER WEEK, AND PASSOVER - GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU.

Dear CPL Peter Quirinus Boets Jr, 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

Semper Fidelis, Corporal.

Peter is buried at All Souls Cemetery in Long Beach, CA.
