THE WALL OF FACES

Lance Corporal Timothy Marcia Wilbanks, Served with Company C, 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Tim was married to my sister, Angie, and had a baby son Tim Jr. I'll remember his bravery and sacrifice. Angie is now with Tim in Heaven. Gone but never forgotten.

Dear LCPL Timothy Marcia Wilbanks, 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

Tim and I served together with a very small tight knit group of kick ass Tankers in 2nd platoon Charlie Co. for many months. I have video of him doing a fake Coke commercial out in the 'Mud Flats' (Goi Noi Island area) with our Lt. Duffy. He was killed just days after I left to go home. The circumstances were devastating to me. He was a great guy and Marine...should not have happened. Semper Fi.
