THE WALL OF FACES

Staff Sergeant William Lawrence Bonnell, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 2nd Battalion, 320th Artillery Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It saddens me so few have posted remembrances for you here....surely you deserve better. May you rest in eternal peace.

DEAR STAFF SERGEANT BONNELL,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A FIELD ARTILLERY SURVEYOR. ARTILLERYMEN WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL TO ME. 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 WAS JUST EASTER - GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU.

Thank you Staff Sergeant Bonnell for your devotion, leadership and courage.

Dear SSGT William Lawrence Bonnell, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.

With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.

Curt Carter
