THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to or country so long ago sir. The remembrances from Jim Schneider are moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Not many days go by that I don't think about you Bobby Don. I looked up to you and would follow you into combat anywhere. Rest in peace my friend

On December 6, 1967, PCF 79 (Swift Boat) of Coastal Division 12 came under automatic weapons fire from five different positions while conducting a loudspeaker PSYOPS mission along the along the South Vietnam coast, approximately 10 miles south of Cape Butangan in Quang Ngai Province, RVN. The Swift boat received five automatic weapon hits and BM1 Bobby D. Carver, the forward gunner, was killed during the action.

Dear BM1 Bobby Carver,
Thank you for your service as a Boatswain's Mate 1st Class (Swift Boat.) 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 BM1 Bobby Don Carver, 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
