THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl William Waters, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Your 73rd birthday is soon, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Veterans’ Day is in 2 days. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

My namesake, my hero.
The legend of my childhood, they say I have your eyes.

I have no memories of you, only what your family has told me. You were missed at my wedding to your brother. Our children did not know you however your brother was a Marine and sent to Vietnam. Your nephew our son is a major in the Marines. You are very missed. Your service is appreciated as well as that of your military brothers and sisters. Semper Fi. Until we meet!

On the remembrance of your 71st birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Muddy, rest assured that you are thought of every year of my life since VietNam.
Rest in peace my friend.
