THE WALL OF FACES

Corporal Carpenter, we have never met, but someone honored you in a book dedication, which brought me here. I thank you for your service, for being so brave at so young an age, and I feel deep sympathy for your family's loss.

George is buried at Trinity Cemetery, Hewlett,NY.

Dear CPL George Whitney Carpenter, 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

Semper Fi Marine.
