William "Tony" Brock
Tony's dad and my dad worked for Halliburton. Every so often my senior year Halliburton would get a freight car of chemicals in which had to be unloaded. So Halliburton would hire us teenagers to come down on Saturdays to unload it. Since Halliburton paid us good for the time we would enthusiastically pitch in and help our dads. Tony cheerfully led us teens since he was the eldest teen and a "college man" in 1966-1967. The last time I saw Tony was him standing with a group of my high school peers outside in a church yard talking in December 1967. We waved as we passed them on our way to church and Tony saw us and waved back. That was the last time I ever saw Tony. In Summer of 1968 we moved from Wilburton. One day at college the radio announced the latest Oklahoma casualties and Tony Brock was one of them. I saw his parents after Tony's death when they visited us in Duncan. They were not the same good nature folks we had once known in Wilburton. Mr Brock began working overseas like my dad was doing. As a footnote. While I worked in the Pentagon I would go by and see Tony's name on the wall and place my hand on it to let him know he was not forgotten. Ironically 27-30 years later Sp/4 Chris Tait (my eldest son) served in 2nd BN 8th INF 4th ID. Which is in the same Mechanized Brigade as Tony's former unit. Only back then they were leg grunts using Hueys to get around.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear PFC William Tony Brock, 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
