THE WALL OF FACES

Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was.

Dear PFC Dale Schwefel, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Cannoneer. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Shy, quiet, but my hero. His last words to me have guided me through life. His only sibling, I miss him daily. What would our family be like now...would I have nieces and nephews? What would our Christmases be like? Love you brother. Thank you for being me guardian angel. It's lonely without you.

Dear PFC Dale Wayne Schwefel, 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

I knew Dale in High School, although he was a bit older than me.
May the ultimate scrifice he made, not be forgotten.
Like so many, honorable, dedicated, and too soon gone.
