our hero

 

Amidst the uniform lines of upright headstones, this large red rock stands out.  It marks the final resting place of Willis Waymon Green, a WWII veteran.  The federal government furnishes, at no cost, markers for deceased veterans at any cemetery.  Wonder why Willis has a rock?  Admittedly it befits the landscape of this plot of land off the Llano Estacado.  He was a decorated serviceman, serving in the European Campaign and Africa and earning 5 Bronze Stars, the Oak Leaf Cluster and a Purple Heart -- according to this epitaph.  Rest in peace - this Bud's for you.
