THE WALL OF FACES

I had many friends go to Vietnam but Steve was the one that never came back. He left behind great memories. He always wanted to be a chopper pilot. I wish his dream had never come true...we will always miss you Steve

Chief Warrant Officer Steven Merle Brown, Served with the 114th Assault Helicopter Company, 214th Aviation Battalion, 164th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade.

This was a young man, my Hero, I never met but has left a lasting impression etched into my soul with all he was and all he stood for ... and the wonderful family he left behind.

I was just six years old when I learned for the first time the very real sacrifices brave men and women make for our beloved country and her people ... when I learned of Steven's death from my best friend, his baby sister.

This is to honor not just Steven's memory, but to thank his entire family. A wonderfully incredible close-knit family that I have known since I was a child ... A family Steven would be proud of as they were, and always will be, proud of him.

God Bless you CWO Steven Merle Brown. May you be resting in Paradise Sir.

Dear CWO Steven Merle Brown, 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
