THE WALL OF FACES

‘ Billy’ my childhood friend, a kind, fun loving person who gave all he had in service to America and the cause of liberty.

Dear Cpl Willard Prescott, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. I researched you on your 54th anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Remembering my friend Billy today, smiling, friendly and fun. He was generous, his toys were mine to use too. My friends, his friends we all seemed to get along. In high school, he always seemed to be open to meeting new friends. I knew Billy but a few years, yet it seemed I knew him my whole life, then we graduated high school and went our separate ways. I salute you for your kindness and for your service to America. I hope and trust one day I will see you again.

I often remember Billy,we grew up together,friend thru cub scouts,and high school.He went in the service early on,and I was shocked when I heard he was killed while I was attending Harbor J C. I went in Army reserves years later,but I often think of him. Bud Miller
