Dear Sp4 William Kern, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Thanksgiving was yesterday, so this is the perfect time to say thanks. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Bill stood next to me when we were sworn in at des moines. he was in my basic training co. He always marched at the head of our platoon and I had a devil of a time keeping up with him. I learned of his death when I was in okinawa. I ran into Louis Heinen at o'hare on my way home and we talked for a short time about Bill. he was a great man. Arlan Kickbush colesburg Iowa.

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor William.
