THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from William Campbell is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Private First Class Robert Lee Butler, Served with the 2nd Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

It has been almost 51 years. We were team mates in high school. I remember being together at Peoria Stadium just before you left. I think of you often and Gene. I am privileged to have called you friend. Woodruff Warriors forever.

Although I did not know you, I honor your name. Although I did not know you, I honor your history. Although I did not know you, I honor your service, because without you, I would not be free. I was 7 years old when you honored your country with your life. I am now 58 years old, because you were a citizen of the Home of the Brave.

Dear PFC Robert Butler,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. As we celebrate Labor Day, and enjoy our freedom, it is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
