Memorial Day
The day was clear. A good day for airmobile operations. The landing zone had been prep'ed, but as the Huey's sat down, mortar shells exploded on the base. It was a HOT LZ! The Inf. Bn. CO was new. He had been in command about 2 weeks, and the green had not worn off. He continued the air lift as planned; air assault, battalion administration, and finally, artillery battery advance party. The base was ringed with enemy mortars. I told Bill to call in fire missions, but to be safe. The artillery battery commander ordered him to get out there where he could see. He did! His death was instantaneous. I was in the command and control helicopter with the Bn CO and S-3. Bill called in a mission on a mortar position, and the shot was fired, but there were no adjustments. After all this time, the memories are strong and the emotions are strong.
Bill rest with God!
Bill rest with God!

Always courageous!
Bink, I considered you to be a friend – you were always strong, fair-minded, and courageous. I knew you as a fellow student and a competitor in football and basketball, at Tekoa HS and Eastern Washington University. You are someone to be admired; you were the epitome of courage to the end! We thank you for your contribution… the greatest of your sacrifices!
