Lenny Corpsman
I’m from Uxbridge Massachusetts, Lenny lived in the north end. He’s a few years older than me and I didn’t know him, but I knew his mom. After he was killed, my mom wrote a story about him and she was a writer for a newspaper and independent writer as well. I remember Mrs. Chesley coming up to the house, and how hard it was for her. I’ve never forgotten him and I have visited him in his resting place which is Prospect Hill Cemetery in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. RIP

A "Brother" by service
I grew up at the end of a field behind Lenny's house. I knew him casually. I came home from Vietnam in 1966 having served in the US Army.
I visit Lenny's gravesite almost daily as I walk the cemetery often. I noticed his service marker was sinking and asked the caretaker Harry to raise it which he did. I was not a hero like Lenny but feel a connection as we bot served. I knew his mom as she participated in our parades and school visitations as a Gold Star Mother. When I read the inscription on the gravestone I see his deep faith in God and hope that all veterans go to a special place in Heaven. Lenny, a slow hand salute to you, a true hero!
