Happy Birthday, Gil!! Still thinking of you after all these years!! Will always remember boot camp, buddy!! Thanks for keeping us laughing!! Wish you were still here with us!! RIP, brother!!!

Dear AN Gill Carter,
I hope your photo is put here because this wall of faces needs yours. Thank you for your service as an Aviation Machinist's Mate (Jet Engine Mechanic) Airman. Tomorrow is actually Columbus Day, and we remember those of you who served. 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 strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear AN Gill Lester Carter, 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

Gill is buried at Jackson Square Cemetery, Natchitoches, LA. AM NCM
