Remembering An American Hero
Dear Captain Afton M Watts, 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

Closer than I thought
In 1969 I joined one of the big peace marches in Washington. They gave me the name card of a fallen soldier to hang around my neck.It was Afton Watts. I took the card home to Austin to honor him. Tonight I looked for him online and found that he too was from Austin. I came to Canada because of that war but I will never forget him.

If I should die...remembrances for CAPT. Afton M. WATTS, USA...who made the ultimate sacrifice!!!!!!
If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by theb silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
