Remembering An American Hero
Posted on 11/26/13 - by Curt Carter ccarter02@earthlink.net
 
Dear SP4 Leon David Moore, 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

Dear Leon David Moore, As an American citizen, I truly cannot thank you enough for what you have done for our country. America needs people like you –heroes. In fact, it is the very people like you who keep America free and proud. You will not be forgotten by us! You were not forced to join the army, yet you joined anyway. You served as a soldier willingly an act of bravery not everyone would do. It takes a true hero to fight in a war, to risk their lives for their country. And for that, God bless you, and all the other men and women who fought in the war. Once again, I thank you for making the
ultimate sacrifice for our country. You really made a difference to the people you fought for. Rest in peace, brave soldier, for you will forever be remembered by your fellow Americans.

MY COUNTRY'S FLAG CRIED the flag bowed it's bars and wept starry tears as it hung at half-mast for a soldier's years. another youth it had called and another youth had died. I stood and i watched as my country's flag cried. it clothed the drab coffin in it's red, white, and blue, silently protecting the contents for the comfort of a few. it brought strength to some, to others, bitter pride. but as mourners filed by, my country's flag cried. as it rode to the field where the soldier was laid away, the flag recalled the pledge that he used to stand and say, but to war he went and to keep that pledge, he tried. as the guns fired their last salute, my country's flag cried. as taps rang out, it was folded with care, for the soldier's soul a chaplin whispered a prayer. he asked god for peace in this world to abide, and in a grieving mother's arms my country's flag cried!

in sincere gratitude
I feel everyone here needs some acknowledgement of their ultimate sacrifice for our country. You died much too young.
You most likely were just out of school. You had a life that deserved many more years. You left behind people who loved you and who, I imagine still fee the pain of your loss to this day. I hope they have comfort in knowing you are at rest and that they will someday see you again in a much better place.

Your courage and efforts in Viet Nam will never be forgotten in my heart and in a multitude of others who have the upmost respect and honor for the soldiers who lost their lives there.

in Peace always
