THE WALL OF FACES

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Vaughn L. Dexter and I completed boot camp together. Vaughn was one of two from Plt#2080 to make that supreme sacrifice in Vietnam. As long as the Marine Corps is here their stories will be told. Rest well Marine Semper Fi.
