Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL William Baker Hubble, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

The demise of a dear friend.
We left on a company sized search and destroy mission close to the date the army posted as his death. In late afternoon we walked into a "hornet's nest" with a new captain who had no combat experience. The older veterans in the unit knew we were in for a bad night. The captain refused to pull us out of a bad situation. We dug in and were overrun three times in one night. The next morning, we had 85 wounded to be dusted off. As of then, no one had died. There were 13 of us, 9 of us were walking wounded. As the med-evac helicopters came in to pick the wounded out of the jungle by basket air lift, Billy was moving around removing unspent Chinese rifle grenades that littered the entire battle area, trying to prevent the further wounding or harm of any of the already injured soldiers. I was sitting about 20 yards away in a fox hole watching and waiting for any further action, when we heard the explosion. Much to all our dismay one of the grenades had gone off while Billy was moving it. He was killed instantly.
