THE WALL OF FACES

Thinking of you on your birthday. You are not forgotten.

Specialist Four John Peter Zielinski, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.

I met his sister one day by accident. I was in the neighborhood one day and I saw the flag she was flying on her home was a little tattered. Having one with me I replaced it and she told me about her brother who was KIA in Nam. I asked her if she had a photo of him so I could send it to Matt, who was asking for photos to fit the name at the Memorial

Dear SP4 John Peter Zielinski, 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

John, You are in our thoughts and prayers on your birthday today.
