Remembering An American Hero

Dear SGT Richard Clark Babb Jr, 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

A Tribute, to a true American Hero
"If you, are able, save them a place inside, of you
and save one backward glance, when you, are leaving for the places, they can, no longer go. Be not ashamed, to say you loved them, though you may, or may, not have always. Take, what they have, left and what, they have, taught you, with their dying and keep it, with your own. And in, that time, when men decide and feel safe, to call the war insane, take one moment, to embrace those gentle heroes, you left behind. "Major, Michael Davis O'Donnell, 1, January 1970, Dak To, Vietnam." America, has, been built on the blood, of Hero’s and Brave Men, of Honor. Thank you, for your service and my freedom. May God bring comfort, to your loved ones. You shall never be forgotten, by a grateful nation."

Memorial Day 2011
Babbs was 3 years older than I which is a lot when you are 14.I remember him as a gangly kid just before he went to boot camp. He was a young man, ramrod straight just before shipping off to Viet Nam. He was proud to serve and I remember him saying ' I will be a SGT. when I get back'. He was ready for the unknown. Courage

If I should die...remembrances for SGT.Richard Clark BABB, USA...Chicago's bravest son, who died so that freedom and justice may live!!!!!!!!...HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I,perchance, may therein comfort you
