THE WALL OF FACES

Dear LCPL Charles Calvin Burns, 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

Charles is buried at Lauderdale Mem Gardens, Ripley, TN.

Butch was about 2 years behind me in school in Ripley. I left Viet Nam in 1965. I just remember feeling very sad when I noticed his name on the wall. I simply remember him being such a nice guy.
Perhaps I will write more soon!

Well Butch, its Nov.2 2002 and my wife and I will finally be there to visit you soon. I think of you often, but need to talk to you up close and personnel. So, stand by.....love ya little butch.

Thinking of you big time this morning brother. I can always talk to you, but would love to hear from other's that know you from the bush, or the world. Semper Fi, your little brother Butch.
