In memory of 2LT William C. Murphy

You were the first from Taunton, Massachusetts,
to die fighting in the Vietnam war.

Many years have passed but your death is not forgotten
by those who know
that without our servicemen,
our lives wouldn't be the same.

May Americans never forget our
veterans, alive or deceased.

May you rest in peace.
