THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Edgar Rice is touching and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever.

Dear Sp4 Bobby Shelton, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 38th Scout Dog Platoon. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another new year. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

My uncle John Dale Shelton and bobby were cousins and served together as dog handlers in vietnam. Uncle Dale never really spoke about vietnam except to talk about Bobby. The photo attached is Dale.

Dear SP4 Bobby James Shelton, 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 got to the 38 ipsd in july of 67 . I knew bobby but we were not real close. walking point is a lonely position. in combat you never got too close to anyone just in case. I remember hearing about what happened to him back in the base camp . it makes one realize how dangerous it is to walk point.
