THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Audrey is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Private First Class James Clinton Bryant, Served with Company C, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear PFC James Bryant,
Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman. 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.

I can remember being 15 years old and in the kitchen washing the dinner dishes. My mom,dad and 3 brothers were on the back porch eating watermelon. Dad was calling me to come out to join the family but I can recall just standing there watching through the window listening to the laughter and conversation . For some odd reason, I wanted to always remember that evening, that happy scene. I wouldn't understand why until later. That would be the last evening my family would ever be together. My brother would die in Vietnam months later. Then, my other brother who missed him so much would die 22 months later. My parents were never the same afterward. The rest of the family have been gone for years now. I am the only one left to carry the love and memories. The house is still there, just down the road. Whenever I have gone by there, I can see us all there once again.

Dear PFC James Clinton Bryant, 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
