For the Fallen
Posted on 11/7/15 - by KW
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- from "For the Fallen", by Laurence Binyon

Dear SSGT Calvin Charles Rice 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

HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND, LEADER AND COMBAT SOLDIER. MISS HIM EACH AND EVERYDAY
Just a note to let you know that you are not forgotten. I remember the day that SFC Maxey went on R&R and you took over on "35". Later that day we hit a mine and destroyed the tank, that was on 2 May 1969. I was in the rear getting ready to go on R&R the day you were killed. I still have pictures of me, you, and Johnson horsing around. Again, just to let you know that you are still remembered.
fellow trooper,
