Remembering
Bill: I remember you and the laughs we had together at Marine Corps Schools,Quantico, VA I was in Schools Demonstration Troops as an Engineer Platoon Sgt. and you were OIC of E.O.D. You had a great crew and a fine bunch of Marines they were... All due to the leadership you provided. One of these days, I hope to be standing watch with you on the streets of Heaven... Till then, my friend, Semper Fi.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay that day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Task undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of the day.
If my parting left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow.
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one touched.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
but don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free!"

William Leon Vick, thank you for all you taught me in EOD school. My father was a WWII Marine from Owensboro, Kentucky. Once I learned that you were from Paducah Kentucky, I have not been able to think of Kentucky Marines with out you entering my mind. I was attached to the first Marine EOD Platoon in Danang from May to June of 1969. They were a fine bunch of Marines. You probably knew all of them. I am proud and honored to have known you. Semper Fidelis.

It seems a shame that these men answered the call, whether or not they were in agreement with the æpolicyÆ and gave their lives for a generally unresponsive and ungrateful nation, yet seem to be memorialized by no-one, not even their loved ones. Perhaps the pain of loss is still too great, or perhaps they donÆt know this human has been immortalized here. As a fellow Viet Nam veteran, I think of the fallen and those who returned but are not yet whole on a daily basis as I visit the wall each morning. Rest easy. Know that you are remembered and we will all meet beyond the great divide. God bless you and those you left behind.
