THE WALL OF FACES

As I gathered with two high school friends (class of 70) Memorial Day weekend we talked about Roger’s ultimate sacrifice and how the Williams’ family loss brought the reality of war to us. As younger high school students and friends with Roger’s twin brothers, this causality hit hard and was our first reality of war. As I looked up the memorial of Roger it felt like yesterday even though it was so long ago. Roger, know you are still remembered, appreciated, valued, and helped us mature and hopefully use our opportunities better than we might have.

May God allow you know how much you are still loved and missed. Everyday since the day you left us. I pray you are holding the hands of your your younger brothers and parents. I pray I will hug you again soon. I still remember the last time we hugged

You where only here a short time but you live in my Hart forever Freddy

Semper Fidelis, Marine.

Dear LCPL Roger Dale Williams, 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
