THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Captain William Larry Byrd, 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

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile,...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Remembering good times and how proud I am for your service and sacrifice for our country. You will never be forgotten.

Larry, it's been over 41 years now and I miss you so very much. I read some of the great words from people that knew you in Germany & Viet Nam. You live forever in my Heart! I LOVE YOU LARRY!

Larry as we always called him was my brother, I was 8 years old he was KIA on our Mothers birthday June 6, 1970. I was able to meet Jennifer Denard her father was KIA with my brother, they were up in a loach helicopter doing a last pat down before my brother took over Willam Branches job, and Mr.Branch would be going home in a few days. I miss my brother so very much and one day I will get to see him again
