55 Years and I Still Remember Billy

I was in Bill’s Platoon and near him when we came under fire. He was there and then he was gone. It was so fast and confusing. I think of him often and have shared his story with family and friends. Never to forget him.

He was my best friend in Vietnam. It affected me deeply. It still does. Such a phenomenal individual. Sorry this is so late.

Was with him at the ene.

I was with William when he died. I held him in my arms trying to stop the blood but there was no hope for the neck wound. He was a friend and I still miss him daily. I wrote his family from Vietnam and they sent me a picture of the funeral. I have tried to get in touch with anyone that was a relative. My email now is [email protected].
