Remembering An American Hero

Dear LTJG Denis Leon Anderson, 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

Never met, but

In the spring of 1969 I purchased a MIA/POW bracelet with your name inscribed on it. Through the years it has become a very close part of life. While I served in the Navy from '72-'78 it was always with me. I would often think about your family that you left behind, were you married, any children and what they must be going through. Often I would check all the records I could find to see if you had been returned or still missing. To learn that you had been returned and laid to rest in Arlington gave some sense of closure and satisfaction knowing that your family had the closure that they had been longing for. Still on Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Christmas the braclet would come off my shelf and back on my wrist. My daughter would always ask me why and what it meant. I would always say it is my way of saying thanks to someone that I had never met, but gave so much for all of us. I hope that now you are truly at rest and in the arms of the supreme commander, and knowing that someday we will meet.
