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.

Dear PFC Paul Hewitson, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman. The 51st anniversary of your tour start just passed, sad. Yesterday was Memorial Day when we honor you. I could not post then because this site was overwhelmed. Please watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

Hewitson was a great soldier. He followed tough orders and he never complained.

Memorial Day 2017 Riverside, CA. I was honored to receive the dog tag of a fallen hero Paul C. Hewitson. Today, along with thousands of other bikes, we ride in their honor. I will hold your tags dear, I will pray for your friends and family. I will honor you everyday. Thank you for your service Paul C. Hewitson.

Paul was one of my closest friends before he was drafted and sent to Vietnam, he died less than two months later. To this day I think of him often.
