THE WALL OF FACES

War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always.

Dear Cpl Curtis Stelzer, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. The 52nd anniversary of the start of your tour just passed. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. The 47th anniversary of the official end of the war just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

CPL Curtis Edwin Stelzer is buried in Garden of Hymns Section, BLK 1604, Space 6 of the Cherokee Memorial Park, Lodi, CA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

This is amazing, I just stumbled across this by accident. Curtis was my uncle (my mother's little brother). I was just shy of my 2nd birthday when he died. I have photos with him, but no actual memories. It was heartwarming to read what others have posted. Thank you! And a special Thanks to all who have served this great country of ours!

Dear CPL Curtis Edwin Stelzer, 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
