THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your brother Tom is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

I was just 6 when you died, but I remember it like it was yesterday. The car coming down the drive and the Army representative informing us of what happened changed our family forever. It changed dad for sure. But like our father, all of your brothers served America in the military and I hope that would have made you proud. You have nephews that still serve today. Your nephew Michael carries your middle name and has the flag that flew over the Capitol in your honor. I have one of the shell casings from the volley that was offered at your graveside before "Taps" was played. One day my son will have it, and his son after him. You are not forgotten in our family. But my joy is knowing that I will see you again, and unlike the last time I saw you, you will be whole. Enjoy your time with Pop before I get Home. See ya soon bro.
Tom

Dear Sgt Jerry Campbell,
Thank you for your service as a Huey, Uh-1 Helicopter Repairer with the 1st Cavalry. 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.

Dear SGT Jerry Wayne Campbell, 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
