THE WALL OF FACES

Everett is buried at Eastland Cemetery, Eastland,TX. PH

Semper Fi, Doc. Thank you for your service to our country and to your Marines.

Rest in Peace "Doc"



"I'm the One Called "Doc…"


I shall not walk in your footsteps,
but I will walk by your side.
I shall not walk in your image,
I've earned my own title of pride.
We've answered the call together,
on sea and foreign land.
When the cry for help was given,
I've been there right at hand.
Whether I am on the ocean
or in the jungle wearing greens,
Giving aid to my fellow man,
be it Sailors or Marines.
So the next time you see a corpsman
and you think of calling him "squid",
Think of the job he's doing
as those before him did.
And if you ever have to go out there
and your life is on the block,
Look at the one right next to you…
I'm the one called "Doc".

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Everett White Everett, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and most holy sacrifice, given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Mate, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you Doc Everett, for a job well done!

FAIR WINDS, AND ETERNAL PEACE MY FRIEND

Everett and I were roommates at the Naval Hospital in Corpus Christi, Tx prior to be sent to Viet Nam. He was the best friend I ever had in my life. I miss him a lot. One of my sons was named Everett. I just wanted to carry his name on in some small way.
