THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Major Lawrence Gene Stolz, 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

Lawrence is buried at St Peter & Paul Cemetery, Haubstadt, Gibson County,IN.

Does Lawrence G. Stolz have any family? I wore his POWMIA bracelet until 1985.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinishged tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Major Stolz and Captain Dale Koons were lost while on a combat mission from Ubon RTAFB over North Vietnam in a F-4D Phantom, on 26 Dec 71. Their remains were returned home in 1990.
