For PFC Melvin Lester DOLBY, USMC...one of Osceola Mills's bravest of heroes, who gave his all!!!
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
PFC Dolby, you were the very essence of DUTY!...HONOR!...and COUNTRY! You had been there and done that in Vietnam! You were one brave man who did brave deeds for our America! You fought for the right without question or pause! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERY American citizen! In your youth and strength...your love and loyalty...you had given all that mortality can give to defend liberty everywhere! Osceola Mills is very proud of you! You sacrificed your life so that freedom and justice may live! You had lived up to the motto of the Corps!---SEMPER FIDELIS!---and to the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land!...an ideal SO NOBLE that it arouses in all of us a sense of pride, and yet, of humility! I strongly and honestly believe that Avonmore's own Jill Corey, whom I so greatly and so immensely admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds of all time, the other two being Walton-on-Thames's own Julie Andrews, England's musical queen, and London's own Dusty Springfield, another thrush from England, would be very proud of your service to America and the sacrifices you made to keep our country and us free! Well done, Marine! Be thoiu at peace. SEMPER FI!!!
mILLS S VERY PROUD OF YOU!

Dearest Uncle Melvin
My mom has told me so many stories about you. She told us how much she loved you and how devastated she was when you were killed. I imagine how life would be if you were still here and what you would be like. You truly are my hero and I wish I could have met you but unfortunately God works in mysterious ways. Until we meet I will keep you in my heart I love you Uncle Melvin.
