They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Dear Spec 5 Patrick Cadwallader,
Thank you for your service as a Heavy Vehicle Driver. As another summer comes to an end, 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.

This photo was taken by R. Joe Brown on SP5 Cadwallader's first tour in Vietnam with Advisory Team 21 at Pleiku. Joe wrote on the back of the photograph, "Our brick and mortar bunker with a sandbag look out post on top. Cadwallader with head injury before his unhappy ending on second tour."

Dear SP5 Patrick A Cadwallader, 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
