THE WALL OF FACES

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 PFC Richard Caputo,
Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. Your 49th anniversary was 4 days ago. sigh. 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.

Richard was and will always be a hero to me. He as an elder of 6 years would come to our Linden Street gang day after day to visit Ann. He always found time to teach us sports like baseball in the street. His loss was the first I and many others on our street had ever encountered. It was devastating. I'll never forget PFC Richard P Caputo Hero.

Dear PFC Richard P Caputo, 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
