THE WALL OF FACES

Semper Fidelis, Marine.

Dear LCPL Dennis Duane 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, Sir

Curt Carter

Dennis is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, western division, veterans section near the main gate. Dennis is located in the 10th row, 8th column in from the north.

We were classmates but only knew each other by sight. I want to give you my whole heart felt thanks for serving our country so bravely & proudly. We are closing in on our 50th year class reunion & wish you were here in body to enjoy also but I know you will be watching over us & guarding us just as you did in 1968. May you always rest in peace & continue to be proud of our country. Maggie,Class of 1966 Logan High School

We were neighbors in La Crosse on Copeland Avenue. We were not fast friends and did not socialize too much but we knew each other as a neighbor and friend. My wife Rose and I made a trip to Washington DC and I fulfilled a promise that one day I would visit you on "The Wall". My promise has been fulfilled. I now have a cherished photo remembrance of your name on "The Wall" and an etching as well. Thank you my good neighbor for your sacrifice for your country and to enable us who remain to enjoy our freedoms that we might not have without you who have sacrificed so much to insure our freedom.
