THE WALL OF FACES

This is his boot camp photo from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Platoon 3033. He earned the title “U.S. Marine” on August 16, 1966.

Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your service. Your sacrifice has not been forgotten. One day, Aunt Pauline will introduce me to you. I look forward to that heavenly meeting!

Dear LCPL William Marshall Shaw 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
