I have just recently begun to find closure to the horrible death of my older brother. He was to me a warm, wonderful, young person who went off to do the right thing. Our whole family was proud of him. Carl was a popular high school sports figure. It didn't matter what age a person was he always found time for them. Children were his favorite kind of people - he truly had a gift. I am a year younger than he is and he was 22 when he died. It has been many years now and I've just learned something that I'm sure Carl would want me to share with you. My deepest thanks to those brave and courageous men of the 199th Light Infantry Warriors. They put themselves in harm's way to bring him home. I know the sacrifices you made going to retrieve his body after drowning. It had to have been a tremendous loss for all the men to watch him slip away. Lieutenant Carl Lamberson, my oldest brother, my friend, and one hell of a man would want to salute you all. God blesses all of you and sorry it took me so long to wake up and smell the coffee. I miss him beyond words, thanks again, I just went the other day to put a blanket on his grave and thank God I can do that and you made that possible. Broken Hearted,
his sister |
