THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Michael Wilson, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Valentine's Day is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear Mike, the Hutchinson High School class of 1963 met for our 50th class reunion October 15-17, 2013. We contacted your cousins and they graciously loaned us some family pictures. Some of our classmates loaned pictures and memories as well. We displayed all these memories on a wall of honor and we all stood and gave honor to you and your brother warriors. Sam Ontjes composed and read a memoir. You were a part of our celebration and will never be forgotten. Go Salthawks!

Dear 2LT Michael Lund Wilson, 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

I was with you the day you paid the ultimate price. I carried you to be sent home to your rest,

R.I.P.

Michael is buried next to his father in Bonnet Prairie Cemetery in Reo, WI. PH
