Captain Armand Alvin Sylvestre, Served with the Headquarters and Service Company, 15th Medical Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I was four when Armand was killed in July of 1968. It's now November 2017 and I'm on a mission to learn all I can about this man that I barely remember. He was TRUE hero!
I welcome contact from anyone who remembers Armand.
Thank you!

Dear Captain Armand Alvin Sylvestre, 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
