THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you Corporal Burke for your leadership and courage.

Dear CPL Patrick Kevin Burke, sir,

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.

With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.

Curt Carter

Patrick is buried at Highland Cemetery in Norwood, Mass.

Patrick Burke was the brother of one of my close friends in high school. He was a fun loving person who died much to young. I remember him riding his motorcycle up and down Nahatan St. in Norwood, Ma. From Susan Bain
