I was with you the day you died
I remember how kind and gentle you were, you were in my company in the field. Your platoon hit a booby trap, killing you and wounding several others. We cut out a small landing zone with machetes in a bamboo grove to get you and the others out. It was so hot some of us started dropping from heat stroke, but that did not matter. We would have died trying to save you all ( probably about 5 guys). Big Willie cut most of the bamboo away like Paul Bunyan. He was a gentle, soft spoken, huge black kid from Macon Georgia, your home state. First a time I was your platoon leader, at 19. You will never be forgotten, you are in my prayers every single night.

Remembered
I visited your grave today as I often do walking through the cemetery. 48 years ago this was your last day alive. As I stood saluting, I thought about all the things you’ve missed in the almost half century since your death – marriage, children, a career working, grandchildren, a well-earned retirement, and maybe great-grandchildren. I mourn that you never had those opportunities.
