honoring you.....
Thank You
Remembering An American Hero
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
A Great Man
Wayne was a college senior when I was a freshman. He was a star & I was a nobody, but he took the time to encourage me in basketball and life, which was an amazing gesture. He was one of my heroes, so when he pulled up beside me in that 'Lark' of his, and ordered me to 'get in' & accompany him to
'Shorty's' - well, naturally I thought I must be dreaming. We hung out that night, & then he came to the dorm (Sennett Hall) the next morning & woke me up for more quality time.
It was his character & concern extended to another. Fun, adventerous, strong, handsome, and friendly to all while fearing none.
He was those things to the campus, those things to his family, and those things to his country. Everybody loved him. A true American patriot, an American hero, and a man that I love, respect, and admire. My hope & prayer is that we can rehash the old days, one of these days, in God's glorious New Jerusalem!
