My friend.
I was there that horrible day. We were set up in an area about 200 yards from where the bombing took place. Cpl Foy and part of his platoon were sent back into the village on patrol. We had swept through there the previous day. On that day Air strikes were called in to help clear the village. No air strikes were called in on the day of the tragedy when the plane dropped its bombs we ran into the village to help those that were injured. I threw 2 yellow smoke grenades to let the planes know they were bombing friendlies. The first person I reached was Cpl Joy. I held him in my arms until he passed away. We were friends so I was overwhelmed with grief. We gathered up our casulties and called in med-evacs for those dead and wounded. This happened in the middle of the day. We were never told why this happened. I’ll never forget Cpl Foy and the other Marines that died that day.

Dear Cpl Michael Foy,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. It is Columbus Day weekend, and another national holiday has arrived. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
