THE WALL OF FACES

Remembering you and your family this Memorial Day 2017.

You are always remembered and never forgotten

Bobby was the first of my friends to die in Nam. I only knew him a short few years, when I moved to Danbury in my Sophomore year of high school.

Despite all these years now, what I still remember about Bobby was his smile and the kind way about him. I was a new kid and so had to make my way. A jerk (Louie S.) in Mr. Sniffen's class pulled my chair. A lot of kids laughed including Louie ... until I punched him out. I was alright with Bobby after that event.

No surprise he made rank as quickly as he did. Bob was a leader, who came from a good family with strong leadership values.

Peace my friend.

Dear SSGT Robert James Thompson, 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

Robert is buried at Wooster Cemetery, Danbury,CT.
