THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Fran Tolliver is especially poignant. May you rest in eternal peace.

Staff Sergeant Perry Nathan Browning, Served with Detachment A-415 (Tuyen Nhon), Company D, 5th Special Forces Group, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear Ssgt Perry Browning,
Thank you for your service as a Special Forces Qualified Medical NCO. Thank you for the lives you saved. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

SSG Perry Browning was the senior medic at one of my SF camps. He was on a patrol a month after I left which got in a serious firefight where several Vietnamese soldiers were wounded. While caring for the wounded a Viet Cong lobbed a grenade into the makeshift aid station. Perry bent to scoop it up but it want off before he could throw it back killing him instantly. I sometimes look at some of the SF Vietnam era message boards and saw where Perry's family was asking if anyone knew him. I connected with his wife and sent her a photo I had of Perry which she shared with his now grown children. May he RIP

Dear SSGT Perry Nathan Browning, 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
