THE WALL OF FACES

I am the daughter of a classmate of Captain Carter's. My father was a pallbearer. Every time I'm in DC, I touch his name. I was there today on Father's Day. Hugs to his family. We speak his name. My father has never forgotten, so we will not either.

Remembered on what would've been his 81st birthday - 1 January 2022.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The academic achievements of your children and grandchildren as detailed by Doris would make you proud I am sure. May you rest in eternal peace.

Tom died before his third daughter Kerry was born. His oldest daughter Kristy was 3 and his youngest Kimberly was 2. He never experienced the joys of seeing them grow and develop into outstanding young ladies who were all excellent students attending notable schools such as Stanford and UCLA. Today, their children have graduated from their universities and their children have followed in the steps of their grandfather, Tom as well. Nicholas, the oldest grandson attended the Naval Academy and is now in aviation, Joshua is attending Duke for a Masters in Business, Colin is attending Harvard for a Phd in Art, Anna will be a freshman at UC Berkeley . Joey is in High School.

We can never truly repay the great debt we owe our fallen heroes. May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace CAPT. Carter, I salute your brave soul.
Semper Fidelis!
