Thank you Charles for paying the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Although i can never feel the kind of pain Granny, Dad and all of your family felt when you gave your life for our freedom that sacrifice and Dads service to our country was the biggest reason I also served in the US Army. Being a soldier is all i ever wanted to do growing up and you were a huge part of that. Thank you forever for being my childhood Hero. Dawayne Edward Bonds Sgt. 10th SFG (A)

SP4 Charles Edwards Bonds is buried the Jesse Bonds Family Cemetery in Fancy Gap, VA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I knew Charles from James A Gray High School. He was also a good friend. We dated a few times. He was a goofy funny good person. He wrote the entire song Cherish to me in a letter. So sweet. He was 19 when he was killed March 2, 1968. I think of him often. I pray for a time when there are no wars to take our loved ones away. God bless us all. God bless America.
