Dear PFC Vernon Wiggins, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 53rd anniversary is soon, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 10th Day of Christmas. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

YOU WERE MY TENT MATE IN THE FIELD WHEN I WAS A MACHINE GUNNER IN 2ND PLATOON. WAS TOLD BY CAPT SPENCER THAT YOU HAD DIED THE DAY BEFORE MY RETURN FROM JAPAN. SAW YOUR NAME ON THE WALL IN 1991.
