THE WALL OF FACES

Dear LCDR Virgil King Cameron, 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

Flying was what King loved. He was humbled by being a Navy pilot and all that it meant, with the responsibility of flying combat missions over Vietnam. He had a strong sense belief in this country and what of represented. King was a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, so the family knows where he is and that we will see him again. The lord has a purpose in everything.

Lieutenant Commander V. King Cameron

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.

Virgil is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
