Remembering An American Hero
Posted on 8/26/16 - by Curt Carter ccarter02@earthlink.net

Dear PVT Wolfgang Edward Kresse, 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, Sir
Curt Carter

Memorial Day - 2016

Wolfie,

As this Memorial Day approaches I am thinking of you as I have many times. We were in the same class in St. Aloysius for 8 years. I can still hear your crazy laugh that you would emit as you were cutting up with Jimmy DeZego and Frankie Jost. I remember when you put a sleeper hold on Frankie as we waited on lunch line and you actually put him out. I remember Sister Mary James banging your head over and over against the blackboard on the first day of school and realizing that I would certainly get my share of beatings from her before the year was out. Thank you for your service, my friend. See you when my turn comes.

Wolfgang Kresse was the uncle whom I never got to meet. My fathers brother died before I was born but I look forward to meeting him in the heavens when my time comes (a long time from now). He is very missed by all who knew him and his nieces and nephew who never got to knew him. We all recognize his sacrifices and thank him for the honor and self sacrifice he showed during his short lifetime.

Wolfgang was my Uncle. I unfortunatley, didn't know him but have lived a little bit of his life through family stories. On behalf of my family, I'd like to thank your kind words and gratitute for his service. From what I understand he was a wonderful individual who was proud to serve his country. If you have any stories or questions about him, please feel free to contact me. We'd love to hear them. Thank you again, Wendy McGar wjmcgar@hotmail.com

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother.” Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

Wolfy,
Our 8th grade class is getting together for the first time since graduation on Veteran's Day, 2006. I and the other Nam vets will always remember you, buddy. We will raise our glasses in a toast to your memory and wish you God speed until we meet again.

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for 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....
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...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Dear Sir,
I attend Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois where I am currently involved in the posting project there. This remembrance is being posted for an assignment that I am doing in my World History Class. I would like to say that I appreciate all you have done for the freedom of others around the world and for the sake of my fellow Americans. Your commitment will never be forgotten. May God Bless You

Kresse, Wolfgang Edward, PV2
