THE WALL OF FACES

Specialist Four Robert John Allen, Served with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 12th Calvary Regiment, 1st Calvary Division

We grew up in South Providence and ran the streets of the City. He was a solid guy even then. I remember his joining the Army and saw him before he went to Vietnam. Sadly, I attended his Wake and Funeral, along with his many friends from St. Michael's Parish and "the Cozy Grille." In less than a year, I was running thru the "Boonies of Vietnam" as a combat medic.

I will always remember Bobby, especially with a smile on his face!

Remembering you on the anniversary of your death 47 years ago. Thank you for serving our country. God bless you, Sir, and rest in peace.

Dear SP4 Robert John Allen, 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
