As we observe Memorial Day I offer this tribute to Lance Corporal Clement Dupuis, a U.S. Marine who died 31 March 1969 while serving in the Vietnam War, and each military member who died in the service of this nation (a presentation of "More than a Name on a Wall" by The Statler Brothers):
Cpl. Dupuis and I were in the same patrol in Boy Scout Troop 16 in Southington, CT (sponsored by, if memory serves me correct, the local Catholic War Veterans post). We had a very active patrol, going on a number of long hikes on what we called Meriden Mountain to West Peak, as well as a variety of other activities.
Me he, and each of the military members who died in service to the nation, rest in peace.
