THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Sgt Stanley Carter,
Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman. 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.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Stanley.

It's been 46 years and I remember Peter with crystal clarity. His English/Spanish dictionary, smile, genuine warmth, and deep pride for his wife and baby. Each day he would ask me to grill him on the pronunciation of ten new words. I told him I was afraid he would go back to his family with a Boston accent. His death on that a night patrol affected every member of our platoon deeply, for we all truly believed he was one of the finest men we knew. He as been in my thoughts every Memorial Day or nearly half a century. Pete, I salute you.

Dear Stan, I thought u would be gone for just a moment. I would be so upset when u spilled a bowl of spaghetti upside down on our rug. If we could just have u back, and your family could have u back, I wouldn't complain if u spilled a hundred bowls of spaghetti on the rug. Miss the get togethers we had. Thanks for loving my sour dough bread and spaghetti. Thank you so much for your sacrifice. I am 67 now, I was 18 then. I traced your name on the wall in California and sent a copy to Dave, he said he really appreciated it. Now u know he did as he is not emotional at all. That was when I was 45. I was inconsolable at the wall as were many others. I just can't tell u how much we both were devastated when you didn't come home. Looking forward to making it to heaven to see you again. Miss u so much. Think of you so often. With much love. Jeanne

Stanley,
On this weekend, I want you know that you are not forgotten! God bless you! Your Mom and Dad were so very proud of you! Peace and Love.
