SP4 Clayton is on panel 07W, line 060 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.

I served with you and remember the day the Lord Took you my Brother. I still have a picture of you taken a couple days before you were taken away. We will meet again some day in heaven. I love you my brother - until the day we meet again I still will remember you. Hardy Freydenfelt.

He was my Friend and Classmate: I grew up with Curvin from the 6th through the 10th grades. A better friend could not be found. He went in the Army six months before I joined the U.S. Navy. I lost touch with him and just found out the 20th of March 2003 that he was killed in Vietnam. Too many of our men died during that time. I will always remember him. To his family he left a great emptiness, my prayers and best wishes are with you. David White, 309 Creon Ct, Jacksonville, NC 25840.
