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.

You were and always will be my "big brother." It has been more than 55 years since you were taken from this world. My heart was broken. I still think of you every day. I am sure that you have lots of good company.

Private First Class Donald William Drake, Served with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.
