Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Lance Corporal John Anthony Butchko, Jr.

John and I were a members of Dal Cable's Pony League in Holsopple PA.
He was the kind of kid that grows up with the Love and Respect of Family and friends. Tragedy struck and took him from us but...not from our hearts.
I was home on leave from Marine duty when I heard of his death. The sadness of his Parents, family, and friends is rembered by me when I participate in Rifle Salutes over Graves on Memorial Day. REST IN PEACE JOHN...
