THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Dear Dennis
I pray God makes these words touch your heart. You don’t know me but I learned much about you tonight. I married your second cousin. Your uncle who is a World War Two vet sat around a dinner table and told me all about you...even up to the moment he identified your body. Ironically I was at the VA hall waiting for a chicken dinner when I saw your name and picture. I can tell you that you, your father and family shared wonderful and sad stories as I got to know you. I have two boys that I am looking forward to telling them all about you and I hope one day the become the honorable man you did. Thank you for your service and bravery for our freedom. I will assure you are not forgotten in generations to come
Thank you and God bless

On July 13, 1968, a U.S. Navy helicopter UH-1B (tail number 62-12515) from HA(L)-3 (Helicopter Attack [Light] Squadron Three “Seawolves”) was on a mission in the vicinity of Dung Island in the lower Bassac River area when it drew Viet Cong ground fire. The aircraft apparently took a .50 caliber round or rounds in the main engine's transmission. The transmission failed and eliminated the possibility of auto-rotation, causing the aircraft to fall straight to the ground from 800 feet. There were no survivors. When a ground party made it to the crash site, they reported the aircraft was about 18 inches high. The lost crew was composed of pilots LT John L. Abrams and LTJG James H. Romanski, and crewman AMH3 Raymond D. Robinson and AMS3 Dennis M.

Dear AMS3 Dennis Michael Wobbe, 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
