THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

It´s nice to see a picture of my father. I had no chance to meet you and I was always curious about you. Best wishes from Germany,

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It saddens me so few have left remembrances for you here....surely you deserve better. May you rest in eternal peace.

On September 5, 1967, a jeep from C Company, 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor, 25th Infantry Division was traveling on Highway QL-1, approximately seven miles southeast of Duc Pho in Quang Ngai Province, RVN, when it hit a land mine near Bridge 103. The explosion, which left a crater in the ground four feet deep and eight feet wide, was caused by a pressure detonated-type device. It completely destroyed the vehicle and killed its three passengers, including C Company’s commander, CPT William E. Hocker. The other lost personnel were SSG Dieter H. Burger and SP4 David A. Schultz. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

Dear Ssgt Dieter Burger,
Thank you for your service as an Armor Crewman. You passed on my mom's birthday. Say hi to her, her name is Rose. 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.
