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 William Oberg, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Presidents’, and Valentine’s Days are soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

RIP Marine, God Keep you in his Hands. Semper Fi

PFC William A. Oberg was a rifleman serving with Weapons Platoon, H Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines. At 2200 hours on July 5, 1965, he was killed by another marine on sentry duty. His body was evacuated by helicopter at first light the next morning. The incident was determined to be an intentional homicide. One account suggests that the sentry was attempting to wake Oberg to take his turn at sentry duty when Oberg swung and hit the 17 year-old Marine sentry in the mouth. In reaction, the sentry fired point blank with his M-14, killing Oberg. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and vvmf.org]

I love you so much Uncle Bill, soon
