Remembering An American Hero
Posted on 2/21/14 - by Curt Carter ccarter02@earthlink.net
Dear 1LT John Earl Warren 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
To my friend and comrade Lieutenant Warren

This man was my friend. We had music in common. We used to play 'guess this song' at night in Vietnam. He told me that his friends called him 'The Duke of Earl'. He was my best friend in Vietnam. I cried when I heard what happened. To think I could have been one of the men he saved makes him my hero.
Medal of Honor
Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War
The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to First Lieutenant (Infantry) John Earl Warren, Jr., United States Army (Reserve), for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty at the cost of his life while serving as a platoon leader with Company C (Mechanized), 2d Battalion, 22d Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in action against enemy aggressor forces at Tay Ninh Province, Republic of Vietnam, on 14 January 1969.
While moving through a rubber plantation to reinforce another friendly unit, Company C came under intense fire from a well-fortified enemy force. Disregarding his safety, First Lieutenant Warren with several of his men began maneuvering through the hail of enemy fire toward the hostile positions. When he had come to within six feet of one of the enemy bunkers and was preparing to toss a hand grenade into it, an enemy grenade was suddenly thrown into the middle of his small group. Thinking only of his men, First Lieutenant Warren fell in the direction of the grenade, thus shielding those around him from the blast.
His action, performed at the cost of his life, saved three men from serious or mortal injury. First Lieutenant Warren's ultimate action of sacrifice to save the lives of his men was in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.

A Tribute to a true American Hero
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
(Mary Frye – 1932)
Rest well in Gods loving embrace brave solider. You Sir, are a True American Hero and are remembered by a grateful nation.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

As of today's date, YOU have not received any messages recognizing YOUR service & sacrifice to America. YOU were awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR & deserve recognition. Thank YOU & may GOD bless YOUR soul while YOU rest in peace. I think the following statement aptly applies to YOU. " The proud young valor that rose above the mortal and then, at last, was mortal after all".

You, Sir, Have Not Been Forgotten!
During my visit to The Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC I searched and, found the names of my friends, classmates, neighbors etched into the smooth, black face of the Wall, an extraordinary outpouring of emotion became so strong. I was so overwhelmed with sorrow and pain that I could not hold back the tears for those heroes and their families who lost so much. Though my visit to the Wall was a few years ago, I feel that I left a piece of my heart there. To honor those who died in the Vietnam War and to say thank youàI created a small tribute to those heroes. Please click on the link above to view memorial website.

Who Shall We Send
"And God said who shall we send. I answered I am here, send me."
Isaiah 6:8

The following is a newspaper account
of the preceding battle in which
1st LIEUTENANT JOHN EARL WARREN JR
became a posthumous recipient of the
CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR
122 ENEMY SOLDIERS KILLED
IN AMBUSH OF A U.S. SUPPLY CONVOY
SAIGON, South Vietnam, January 15 -
United States forces killed 122 enemy soldiers yesterday while beating
back an attack on an American supply convoy northwest of Saigon.
It was the heaviest combat in South Vietnam in several weeks.
A United States military spokesman said today that only two of the 50
trucks in the convoy had been damaged in the ambush. But 7 Americans
were killed and 10 wounded in nearly seven hours of fighting.
The spokesman said the enemy opened fire on the convoy with
automatic rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades as it
approached the town of Tay Ninh, about 58 miles northwest of Saigon.
Troops escorting the convoy counterattacked and within a few minutes
armed helicopters and fighter-bombers were strafing and bombing the
attackers. Later, reinforcements in armored cars and tanks arrived and
battled enemy soldiers at both ends of the supply column until shortly
before sundown.
