Dear Sp5 Billy Good,
Thank you for your service with the 362nd Signal Company. Happy New Year. 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.

Billy Duane Good, or Duane as the family called him would have been my brother-in-law but he died before we ever met. He was the first West Virginian to die in Vietnam, before it was a war.. He had 2 sons he never had the chance to meet. He was missed by his family, his parents and all of his siblings except my husband, who also served in Vietnam, have all passed now. Sure wish I could have met Duane.

SP5 Billy D. Good served in Vietnam with the 362nd Signal Company. The 362nd Signal Company ("Deuces Wild") was a military communications company of the United States Army. The 362nd was deployed in Vietnam from the Delta in the south to the DMZ in the north, providing long range Tropo-Scatter radio telephone communications throughout South Vietnam. It was just about the first in and the last out of regular U.S. Army company-sized units deployed to South Vietnam. On May 16, 1964, SP4 Good was killed when the vehicle he was driving failed to negotiate a curve in the road and overturned. He suffered bruises over his body and multiple severe internal injuries including pulmonary hemorrhage and bilateral renal contusion. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and wikipedia.org]
