THE WALL OF FACES

It has been 50 years today since you died in Vietnam for the Country you served. You are not forgotten Dave. Rest in peace and honor.

I am going to the reunion of your BRO buddies next week, Big Brother Dave. They are always so happy to see me and proud to remember you and tell me stories of how much they loved you and miss you. They tell me that you were a wonderful leader and calm in times of terror, and that you taught them how to survive. You will always be their hero, and mine. Barbie

Hi again Dave, My husband and I again reunited with your Big Red One buddies for their annual reunion this year. They miss you so much and feel your presence at each and every reunion and still see you in their dreams. Rick has finally found peace in his heart all these years after being with you in your final moments and has been able to free himself from his demons. He has become a brother to me, but can never replace you. I fly a "Honor and Remember" flag at my home on your birthday, your KIA date, and all the holidays in your honor and think of you every day. You have always been my hero, and I hope you understand what a hero you still are to your men. They told me they would never have survived without you. I hope you have found Mom and Dad...my love to you all. Your Lil Sis, Barb

Dear SGT David Wilbert Wehrs, 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
