THE WALL OF FACES

Like Peter, I also was a Marine field radio operator. We went through boot camp and all other training together. Though we were assigned to different outfits in Viet Nam, we kept in touch, planning to get back together again in March when we completed our respective tours.

I still miss you, my friend. You were a good man.

We went to school together in Jordan Valley for a while. I remember when I read in the paper of your death, I gasped. I have never forgotten you and I have a rubbing of your name that my son took when he was at the Wall. Thank you for your service, Steve. RIP

Cousin, I was at Quang Tri April 72. I knew you were with me.

Dear PFC Peter Steven Timmerman, 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

Semper Fi, Marine.
