The Wall I Live Behind In My Mind

(May it never shatter)

 

In memory of the following Marines I served with in Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines in Vietnam from October 1968---September 1969.  I carry a part of their spirit within me.  Their spirit is safe and sound.  Their spirit is welcomed inside me and shall never be deceived as long as I live.
