THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace SSGT. Wissig, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

My name is Krysteen Wescott and I am the daughter of Sgt 1st class Robert H Wescott Jr. It meant a lot to me to find your picture. Your friend Tom found your picture and told me about you.
You are remembered.

SSGT Edward S. Wissig and A1C Aaron Davis Jr. were security policeman assigned to the 12th Security Police Squadron, 12th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force. On February 12, 1971, they were on perimeter patrol in a jeep at Phu Cat Airbase near Qui Nhon, Binh Dinh Province, RVN. During the patrol land mine was detonated as they passed by. The force of the blast caused the jeep to be blown in half. Both airmen were fatally injured in the incident. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and info on thewall-usa.com]

Dear SSGT Edward Simon Wissig, 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
