THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your cousin Saundra is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us...

Dear Sergeant Branam,
Thank your for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Mike was 1st Cav, say hi to him. Frankie was killed in Quang Tri, say hi to him too. Independence Day is approaching, and it is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear SGT Ronnie Franklin Branam, 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

Ronnie was 3 months younger than me. We grew up together, enjoying many hours playing on our grandfather's farm. He was very sweet and shy. He was wounded once and could have come home, but he chose to go back to his unit & was killed within a month of coming home. He will always be remembered with love and pride.

Ronnie is buried at Niota Cem, McMinn Co, TN. His military stone says CO D,7 CAV.
