THE WALL OF FACES

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 SERGEANT BOROSS,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A POWER GENERATION EQUIPMENT OPERATOR/MECHANIC. SUNDAY WAS THE 42ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF SAIGON. I AM SO SORRY. 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.

On January 31, 1968, SGT Laszlo Boross Jr. was part of Task Force-35 during the Tet Offensive. SGT Boross was assigned to the 69th Signal Battalion at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, RVN. At approximately 0320 hours the Tet attack on Tan Son Nhut Air Base began. SGT Boross was called upon to help protect the air base along with the regular security police personnel. Task Force-35 was sent to the west end of the runway to engage human waves of NVA and VC enemy infiltrators. The enemy had attempted to attack the installation from nine different locations. It was in the vicinity of the 0-51 Bunker, on the extreme west end of the installation that SGT Boross was fatally wounded. [Taken from 377sps.org]

Thank you Sergeant Boross for your leadership and courage.

Dear SGT Laszlo Boross 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
