honoring you......
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.

Information on "Ken"
Attached is a photo copied from our local Lorain County, Ohio, newspaper from 1969 of CPL William K. Word "of Sunnyvale". We know Sunnyvale is his military "Home of Record" but he is not actually from Sunnyvale, and we have yet to determine why he was even in California when he was drafted on August 28, 1968 in Oakland, California. He is also not from here in Lorain County, Ohio either, but we have always included him, like you, as one of our own Vietnam casualties because his father Hubert K. Word was living and working here at the time, and William used his father's address as his own. His father is deceased and his mother was deceased even before William, known as "Ken" left for Vietnam. He was raised by his grandmother, Etta Word. He was born and raised in Waycross. Georgia and graduated from Ware County (GA) High School in 1966. He was returned home for burial in Thomas Cemetery in Waycross, GA. Thoiught you may want to know the extra info.
