Fishing in Canada

Howard and I were brought together by our Dads for a memorable fishing trip. We caught walleye, drank, and acted pretty foolish with the power boat, but definitely memorable. You were such a sweet guy and truly loved animals. I will never know why you went. When I got the order while serving in the Marines I called Mom to tell her I was going. Horrified, she said you'd been killed. When I made it back your dad came to see me, he couldn't stop crying. I didn't know what to say. Maybe it should have been me. It breaks my heart that it was you.

Not forgotten

Your mother and my mother were best friends. I remember going over to your house and you would say hello, talk a bit and off you would go with your friends. You were that cool older kid. I was seven when you passed. We were to young to attend your memorial. But my memory of it, is that the sheet cake for it, was at our house beforehand.
I have always had a very vivid memory of seeing the cake. And somehow understanding the sad and heartbreaking significance of it.
You have always been my reference of what the Vietnam war was. The loss of so many young lives. I took my son to see the wall in Springfield, IL. Specifically to find your name.
Please know that all these years later, you are still remembered.
Rest in peace Billy.

Remembering

I was a machine gunner on patrol with Cpl Erickson when he was fatally wounded in Quang Ngai province on 4/30/1969. Fifty plus years have not softened the tragic memory of losing him. William F. Gordon Spc 4 Delta co. 4/3 11th Brigade. [email protected]
