THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

SGT Sammy Lane Weaver is buried in the Weaver Cemetery in Chestnut, LA.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Dear Sgt Sammy Weaver, Thank you for your service as a Radio Teletype Operator with the 1st Cavalry. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Thanksgiving is soon. Times flies. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

SGT Sammy L. Weaver was a radio teletype operator serving with Headquarters & Headquarters Troop (HHT), 7th Squadron, 1st Cavalry, 1st Aviation Brigade. On March 19, 1972, SGT Weaver was walking down a street in Vinh Long City, Vinh Long Province, RVN, with another American soldier from his unit when he was suddenly attacked by a Viet Cong dressed as an ARVN soldier. SGT Weaver was stabbed several times and fell mortally wounded into his friend’s arms. A Vietnamese policeman accompanying both SGT Weaver and his friend shot the killer dead on the spot. There was nothing that could be done for SGT Weaver as he died immediately after being assaulted. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and a personal account provided by Nelson Wheatley Jr.]

Dear SGT Sammy Lane Weaver, 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, Sir

Curt Carter
