THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Dear Sp4 Ronald Wilson, Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Basic. 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.

To my older brothers friend. I knew you in Mountain View, California when I was in Elementary School. Ron, wish you were still with us! Everyday you are missed so very much. I knew your family, your mom, dad and your brother Craig. Your mom Dotty was a wonderful lady! We were all devastated by your loss. I Hope to see you again sometime in the hereafter! Thank you for your service …YOU GAVE ALL.!!!

It was 50 years ago today that my buddy in Vietnam, Ron Wilson, was killed in action. I was a member of Battery C, 1/40 Field Artillery, and I considered Ron my best friend during my short time in Vietnam. On April 28, 1969, Charlie Battery came under attack. I was wounded, and Ron was killed. To my dear friend, I will always remember you. To his family, you can be proud.

Dear SP4 Ronald Kelley 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
