THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear PFC Kenneth Ybarra, Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. Your 76th birthday is soon, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I knew Kenny in high school. He wss a year ahead of me. He was very sweet and also handsome. The last time I talked with him he gave my friend Patty Mulhollen and I a ride in his car. He told me he was leaving soon for the service. I believe he said the following week. Whenever I am in DC I stop by his name on The
Wall out of respect. My condolences to his family.

Kenneth is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, CA.

Dear PFC Kenneth Francis Ybarra, 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
