THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Larry James Burkhardt, Served with B Troop, 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear PFC Larry Burkhardt,
Thank you for your service as an 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.

Dear PFC Larry James Burkhardt, 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

Larry is buried at Mountview Cemetery in Billings,MT. PH

"Sleep my son, your duty done…for freedom’s light has come. Sleep in the silent depths of the sea, or in your bed of hallowed sod, until you hear at dawn the low, clear reveille of God."

I finally was able to visit your gravesite on Memorial Day 2006. You will always be in my heart and prayers. Rest in peace. Have one on me in Fiddler's Green, save a seat for me and I'll meet you there someday.
