THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Rest in eternal peace.

Private First Class Seferino Albarez Jr., Served with Company D, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

PFC Seferino Albarez Jr. (Lockhart, Texas) of D Company, 3-12 INF died on June 13th, 1968. He was the 147th member of the 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division to die in Vietnam. PFC Albarez was drafted into the Army on December 13th, 1967 and attended Basic and Advanced Infantry training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. He arrived in Vietnam on May 25th, 1968 where he was eventually assigned as an infantryman to Delta Company, 3-12 on June 7th, 1968. On June 13th, just 19 days after arriving in the country, PFC Albarez collapsed on a routine patrol outside of FSB 29. He could not be revived, and died before he could be evacuated for further medical care. PFC Seferino Albarez's service may have been brief, but his sacrifice is no less meaningful.

DEAR PFC ALBAREZ,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMY GRUNT.
YOU WERE LOST ON THE FEAST OF ST,. ANTHONY. HE LOVED US, AND PRAYED FOR US.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

Dear PFC Seferino Albarez 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
