Remembering An American Hero
Dear Captain William Douglas Booth, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

A great man, a great XO, a great friend
Doug was my XO in D Co., 577th Engr Bn, 18th Engr Bde in 1967. He took command when I had to take over another Co. on a moment's notice.
Doug was always fair, always the leader, and always a brave man who took care of his own. See you on the other side my brother.

My leader
A great man and a true leader. I served with Lt (then Capt) Booth in the 577th Engineers in 67-68, RVN. I only learned of his death a few years ago and am deeply saddened. I paid my respects at his grave at West Point. If he has relatives who see this, know he was greatly admired by those who proudly served with him
