THE WALL OF FACES

It is with great respect and gratitude that I am honored to be reading Steven C Canright's name on November 9, 2022, at the 40th Anniversary of The Reading of The Names at The Wall in DC. My brother Richard Sablotny was also KIA 10/27/1968 and was from Bedford Ohio. He served the Army 3/60th 9th Infantry. Honoring our men/women who served unselfishly and gave the ultimate sacrifice is the least we can do. I strive to ALWAYS REMEMBER, ALWAYS LOVE and NEVER FORGET those we lost so young. My prayers and love are with your family!

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Karla is touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever...

Dear PFC Steven Canright,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is another autumn, and time has passed since this war. 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.

On October 27, 1968, the Cu Chi Service Club at the 25th Infantry Division Base Camp in Hau Nghia Province, RVN, was damaged by a Claymore mine explosion in the main lounge of the club. Three American servicemen were killed in the blast and 25 others were wounded. The dead included band member piano player SFC Louis A. Frye, and infantrymen PFC James J. McCaffrey Jr. and PFC Steven C. Canright. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Steve.
