THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

Semper Fortis

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

Dear GMG2 William Cariveau,
Thank you for your service as a Gunner's Mate (Guns) 2nd Class. I hate that you died only 2 days from your birthday, sigh. It is the last day of September, and time continues to quickly pass. 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 GMG2 William Joseph Cariveau, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

William is buried at Santa Barbara Cemetery, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, CA.
