I was serving in the Air Force in South Korea when Time Magazine came out with the cover depicting some of the names on the wall. At first glance, I saw my name. Then I realized the middle initial was different. But the close resemblance encouraged me to find your name on the wall when I got to Washington DC. - William W. Fleming, Jr.
