SP4 GREGORY VERNON CARR

I was with you that night of August 20,1968. I was next to you in the foxhole. I held you and tried to dress your wounds. When my wife and I visited "The Wall", I etched your name onto a piece of paper from panel W47-line 6. I have this etching framed and hanging on my shrine at home, next to your picture. You, my friend, and the ultimate sacrifice you made will never be forgotten.
