THE WALL OF FACES

June 6, 1966, we graduated high school together. We became friends in our senior year. We double-dated to the celebrations that followed the ceremony. You joined the Army the following January. I didn't hear from you again, till out of the blue you called the night before you left for Vietnam. We talked for hours and vowed that we would go on a real date when you came home. I attended your funeral. I've thought of you so many times over the years; the sheepish grinning boy who liked to match his socks to the color of his oxford shirt. You will never be forgotten.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Sergeant Albert Morgan Carwithen, Served with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 196th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam. Montani Semper Liberi !

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your friend Raymond Legg is moving. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes.
RIP SGT. Carwithen.
