THE WALL OF FACES

I wish I would have known you, you died a couple of years before I was born. RIP Butch


Your nephew

When I think of my time in Vietnam I think of you. I often get out my pictures of us that we took at the O'Brian bridge. We look so young. You were killed many years ago but you still live in my memories. The Marines who carried you out did not know you so I told them who you were so they would know who it was they were bringing home. I will never forget trying to get a guy from New Jersey to pronounce "oil" so it didn't sound like "earl". It was a lost cause. We could always count on you before,during and after battle. You are missed by more than you know. Semper Fi

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Joseph Edward Amejka, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC Joseph Edward Amejka, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

I wonder how did your family feel when you died? At least they know that you died because you served our country.

Your friend,
Luis Delgado

Wherever you are God bless you and your family; we will always have you in our mind. Thanks for fighting for our loving country.
Respectfully,
