The black and white military picture of George Spillers came from the book MY GIFT TO YOU, which includes the stories and pictures of American soldiers who died in Vietnam while serving with the 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (the Currahees), 101st Airborne Division. The pictures were allowed for use for the Faces Never Forgotten project by the author and fellow Currahee soldier Jerald "Jerry" Berry.

Dear SGT George Thomas Spillers, 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

I recently took my 16-year-old son to find Tommy's name on the Wall. He was my favorite uncle - so young that we always called him Tommy instead of Uncle Tommy. I was only nine years old when he was killed, but will always remember him and love him. I've made sure that my son knows what a hero his great-uncle was.
