THE WALL OF FACES

PFC Henry J. Stuckey was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart Medal (posthumously) for military merit and for wounds received which resulted in his death when he was hit by hostile small arms fire while on combat operation in the KONTUM Province, Republic of Vietnam. He was survived by his parents, Mr. & Mrs. James Stuckey, who lived in the Washington Heights district of Manhattan NY at the time of their son's death.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Henry.

This message is meant for anyone (family, friend or acquaintance) who might have known this individual. As a community service project for the American Legion Auxiliary, I am looking for a photo of this service member so that they may be fully recognized and honored on the Wall of Faces. If you have access to any type of photo (military, graduation, casual or group), please contact me at [email protected]
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you PFC Stuckey for your exemplary courage in dangerous times, in a far and dangerous place.

Dear PFC Henry James Stuckey, 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

Henry is buried at Bethal Cemetery, Georgetown,SC. BSM PH
