THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who served with you are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Cap William Whitehead, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Tactical Intelligence Staff Officer and for graduating from WEST POINT. I researched you on the 55th anniversary of the start of your tour. researched Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the 3rd Day of Christmas, Merry Christmas. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

In 1967, I was in my 2nd week in VN, Bill was in his 50th. He dispensed this advice, "In a firefight, don't expose yourself; stay in cover and concealment. When your six months in combat is up, come out of the combat zone to a safer staff position." I did that, and it saved my life. In 1968, Bill came back for a 2nd VN tour and was KIA on his way to his command. We miss his sparkling personality and wit.

The “Friends of Rocky Versace” remember one of Rocky’s fellow alumni from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point - and a brother Airborne-Ranger - Captain William James Whitehead, on what would’ve been his 78th birthday - 11 November 2016, the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Remembering you on this Veterans Day, November 11, 2017 As it is also your birthday I pray that you have family members left to remember you each and every day.
