THE WALL OF FACES

Captain Robert F. Woodhouse, Jr. was awarded the Silver Star Medal, with Oak Leaf Cluster, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action. He served as an Aide-De-Camp and was assigned to ADV TEAM 1, HQ, MACV ADVISORS.

There will be a meeting on 7-7-20, the 50th year since Woody made the ultimate sacrifice. It will be at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington. All who knew him should be there.

Woody was my company XO at Ft. Carson. Even though it has been 47 years he is still in our hearts. I still remember the fun we had shooting off red star clusters at each other's apartment complex.

Your friend, always,

Carl Deus (Lt.)

Dear Captain Robert F Woodhouse Jr, 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

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
