Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL Frank Wilder, 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

An old warrior's wish "When I am dead, cry for me a little. Think of me sometimes, but not too much. It is not good for you to dwell too long. Think of me now and again as I was in life, at some moment which is pleasant to recall, but not for long. Leave me in peace as I shall leave you, too, in peace."

We Remember

I attend GHS in Gridley, IL and I am completing this remembrance as part of the Gridley High School Posting Project. I just wanted to take to the time to say thank you. Your display of patriotism and bravery will not be forgotten! We owe the freedom that we enjoy in this country today to dedicated Americans such as yourself!
Dear Sir, I am a Gridley High School student in the town of Gridley Illinois. As a class we are doing a Gridley High School Posting Project to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the freedom of the people living there. I thank you so much for the bravery that you had in making this decision in your life. We cannot express the gratitude that we have for you and the role that you had in the history of this country. Again I thank you for your great decisions, God Bless
