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.

I'm also from Umatilla County and a fellow Marine. I had this feeling today without reason to search up Umatilla County Deaths from Vietnam. I stumbled upon you and others.. I've always stopped Vietnam veterans and shown them love and respect as you guys are some of the finest fighting men in American war culture if not the best.. As someone from the same town I will be sure to find his stone and visit him awhile and show my Resepcts.
My uncle also went back to vietnam when he didn't have too.. Costed hung his limbs except an arm had +5 kids afterwards though. RIP Uncle Pete.

Correction: Dear LCPL Richard Miller - I apologize for posting in the wrong wall. Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Your 71st birthday just passed, happy birthday. I researched you on the 52nd anniversary of the start of your tour (October 5th). God bless you and dance with the angels.

Dear Cpl Richard Miller, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. I researched you on the 53rd anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Halloween is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was only 12 when you were taken from us... I remember the phone call your Uncle Keith received... We were all devastated. Every year when May 12th comes along I think of you... You were always so kind and good to us kids and I looked up to you. You are and always will be my hero... God bless you Dick and thank you so much for your service and sacrifice. I look forward to seeing you once again in heaven.
Your loving cousin, Carol Ann
