POSTED ON 2.28.2014, POSTED BY: CURT CARTER. REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN HERO. Dear SP4 Jay Cee Dyer, 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.
POSTED ON 12.29.2000, POSTED BY: ANDY COHEN, ABSOLUTION: I read about Jay Cee Dyer in a book called "Absolution", which was a Story about Charlie Company 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry. Jay Cee gave his life at the battle for the Village of Ap Cho at approximately 08:00 hours on February 26, 1968. JC was a member of the Third Platoon machine gun crew. His crew was advancing against heavily defended VC bunkers, armed with automatic machine guns, mortars, and RPG's. The entire crew was knocked down during this assault; Jay Cee's was mortally wounded. Jay Cee was a true hero who gave his life for his country and rest in peace.
