The database page for John Brady Walters

Doc Walters was a courageous Corpsman for our company. John never complained and I remember he has a twin brother (also a Corpsman) who spent time with our unit before John came. If you're out there and read this, know he went very quickly, painlessly and was surrounded by those of us who loved him, Marines ... he loved and took care of as well. He saved so many lives in his time with us and performed flawlessly under duress. We all missed him them and now. Someday we will be with him again. Until then God bless him and all those like him. His living legacy are the men he saved and who are alive today as well as their families. We love you "Doc" and we give thanks you were with all of us.
God bless you.
