THE WALL OF FACES

DEAR CORPORAL TADEUSZ BOROWSKI,
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A RIFLEMAN. SEMPER FI. 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.

Tad, I was right behind you on 04 Jun 1968 when you were killed by a landmine. I lost an eye and was peppered with bone fragments from your body as it was destroyed in the blast. I used to joke how I was "Polish by explosion", a joke you'd have laughed at, I'm sure. Over the years, I have tried unsuccessfully to contact your family members to no avail. I just now found this page, and although you can never know it, you and I are tied together for eternity. I think of you every day, and hope that wherever you are, you are at peace. Semper Fi my Brother.

Dear CPL Tadeusz Jan Borowski, 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

Tadeusz is buried at St Joseph's Cemetery, South Bend,IN. PH-GS
