Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their Land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.
From the Navy Hymn
("Eternal Father")

I didn't know Joe but recently I learned he died with my husband, Leslie Chamberlain, 39 years ago. After talking to Joe's girl, I learned a lot about Joe. I recently lost my husband of 35 years. I'm sure you're all up in heaven telling Marine stories. Rest easy guys, you're all heros.

If Tears Could Build a Stairway

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye",
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today -
A hollowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

Love always, Norma
