THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Ernest Abeyta, Served with Company G, 2nd Battalion,9th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

DEAR PFC ABEYTA,

THIS IS INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND. AS WE CELEBRATE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE ULTIMATE.

THANK YOU.
REST IN PEACE.

Dear PFC Ernest Abeyta, 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

Semper Fi, Marine.

Ernest is buried at Resurrection Cemetery, South San Gabriel,CA. PH
