I am voting in honor of my father who entered the US Army February 1941. He served at Guadalcanal, the North Solomons, New Guinea, and was presented with the Bronze Star metal for his participation at Luzon.
My great uncle Lawrence Buteau lied about his age and enlisted June 1, 1917 as a private in Company M, 16th Infantry. He had just turned 16. He was killed in action less than a year later in the Somme. When he enlisted he gave a false home address so, although his family saw his name on a casuality list, they did not get official notification for weeks. His body was repatriated 2 years after his death and he is buried in the family plot in Skowhegan.
Enlisted: Portland, June 1, 1917. Private. Org: Co M 16 Inf. Overseas: Killed in action: May 6, 1918.
I am here to let people know about my dad. He fought in Vietnam to help us all. He lost both his legs and was in a wheel chair due to shrapnel. He fought the best he could and was one of the lucky guys to live. He was able to come home and he and my mother had 2 children my sister and I. I am so appreciative of my father, doing what he did while there, risking his life for the US. Unfortunately, he got cancer from Agent Orange. He passed away 12-15-98 at the age of 47. I miss my dad dearly.
My husband of 20 years, served his country and flag proudly, from 1978 to 1994. He saw how a dictator took hostages in 1979 onboard the U.S.S. Constellation (CV-64) and he was onboard the U.S.S. Independence (CV-62) for the Initial Strikes in support of Desert Shield. I am very proud of what my husband endured for my and all the others that enjoy our freedom and our right to free speech.
To the man I love, thank you so very much for serving are great county, from 1964-1968 you did two tours in Vietnam, I was so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you so very much, I love you, your Wife Maria Redden
OOH RAH!!! This Tribute is coming from the heart of a Marine to a Marine. Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) Kevin. I remember all the good times we have had and will have. He helped me out exponentially through Boot Camp from 12 June 06 till 8 September 06. Wish you the best with your future endeavors in the Corps.
Dedication and striving to succeed were the examples my father gave me; I watched him achieve the highest rank of a noncommissioned officer and serve his country for 26 years in the U.S. Air Force. I admire, respect, and honor my Dad.
Grandpa we miss you so very much since your passing. We all should have thanked you more for your service and personal sacrifice in WWII. Your legacy continues in all of us that you loved. With Much Love and Gratitude.
