I Remember the Day
I worked with Cpt Phillips at the Phu My TOC, he was a very respected officer. I was on radio watch the day of his death and received the call that "We got incoming and Cpt Phillips is missing". We immediately halted the 4.2" mortar blocking fire. I was told to log him as missing in action until we could locate him. It was one the worst days of my two tours. During the search, Pierce found him and was in disbelief for days. We all felt the loss of such a good man

The Best
I was a Lt in Bill Phillips company when he was killed. Never did I meet a better officer or a finer person. It was one of the most sorrowfull events of my tour in Nam. To this day I vividly remember him and, when in D.C., always stop by the Wall to spend a few minutes.

As Time Goes On.
Bill's been gone 45 years now, but he still lingers in my mind. I was 15 years old when we lost him. It seems as if his loss is still on peoples minds. Not a week goes by that an old friend, classmate or family members brings him up. Small in statue, big in heart. If you knew him, you loved him. A Soldier, A Leader, A Son Husband and Father. He was my Brother and I miss him.
