THE WALL OF FACES

My father is Marvin Carter (Marine) and Dennis Ray Carter was his cousin. They joined the Marine Corps a month or so apart without knowing it. While my Dad was over in Chu Lai, he had got word that his cousin, Dennis Ray Carter, had been declared MIA. Unbeknownst to him, Dennis sent him a letter telling him he was also stationed in Vietnam and they should find a way to get together. My dad received this letter after finding out Dennis was missing. My dad still has the letter, and I got to read it. I too honor my dad's cousin. His picture is on my wall at home next to my Dad. Two Marines. Thanks everyone for remembering. Never forget.

Staff Sergeant Dennis Ray Carter, Served with the 1st Platoon, Company K, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Though I do not know him, I've been wearing his remembrance bracelet for almost twenty years to honor him, and will continue to do so until the day he is found.
