THE WALL OF FACES

Rob and I were high school classmates. Later we crossed paths at LZ Bronco in late June 1969, I was completing my tour and heading home, he had just begun his tour in May as I recall.

Robson,

Thank you for your service from another Bedford resident. You will always be remembered.

Air Force UPT Class 81-05, Columbus AFB, MS

Rob and I were roommates at Rice 67-68, played wargames, went to Clint Eastwood flicks, drank wine. My son carries his name and now my grandson. He was an d is one of my dearest friends.

Dear 1LT Robson Ward Wills, 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

I served in the infantry in Vietnam at the same time that Lt Wills did. I did not know him then but have known his brother for 20 years.

I live in San Antonio, where Rob is buried and will be forever honored by his sacrifice. He gave his life for his country so that we might live more freely all these years later.

Vietnam soldiers were not honored on their return home but I have visited Rob's gravesite and live my life today as I hope he would have lived his. Those who read of soldiers like Rob should, for a moment, reflect on what they might have become had they not died and pray that they rest in peace forever.
