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.

Lcpl. Lokeni ,you look like the happiest Marine in Vietnam
'God Bless, from one Lcpl to another.
Semper Fi,

Dear Lcpl Fagatoele Lokeni, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another spring, but like none other. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Never forget Buddy our time together in Boot Camp, weekend we shared at ITR even though we were separated by our different MOS. We talked about our plans to continue our college later in life. Those plans were not to be when news of your passing reach Samoa while I was on leave after Communication School. We say our last goodbyes at your funeral. You are not forgotten my brother. I visit your grave ever year. Semper Fi
