Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
Billy was a member of my rifle squad in Vietnam;3D Brigade,82nd ABN,CoB, 1/505 Inf. He was quiet and very easy going. He was just a short distance away the night we were almost overrun after our platoon's perimeter was attacked. In the firefight that ensued Billy was KIA and I was severely wounded along with two others of our squad. He was a good soldier,never afraid in a fight,and always did what he was asked to do. In my mind he was and is a real American hero not to be forgotten. Sgt. Gary Hatzell, US Army (Ret)
