Buddy,

There but for the grace of God ...

Ernie was wild and fun. I visited his hometown a year ago, read the local paper with notes on his comings and goings, saw his school, the cafe his parents owned and his grave, where he is buried next to his father. After seeing where he came from gave an explanation for all that energy.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

The Communications Support Company, 7th Comm Bn, lost two men on 05 Jul 1967: LCpl Ernest F. Petty and LCpl Marvin O. Stevens of Chicago.
