Vietnam Veteran-Air Force Pilot
Lest We Forget Our Heroes Sacrifice
Bill Tully was the navigator on a B-26 – the Pilot was Captain Robert Bennett. They did not wear American uniforms and their aircraft had no American markings on it. Their B-26 was shot down on November 5, 1962 near Ca Mau, South Vietnam while they were on a Napalm run with a Viet Nam airman on board (who they were “advising”). Bill Tully took a .50 cal. round through the chest – aircraft was brought down by Viet Cong.

A Fellow Veteran
The soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We are young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours they will mean what you make them. They say: Weather our lives and our deaths are for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this. They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young. they say. We have died. Remember us:

Bill Tully was my uncle. His only sibling, his older sister, Martha Jayne, lives in Jacksonville, North Carolina - she has been married to Mike Brannen for almost 57 years now. My mom bore 4 sons, the youngest, Bill Brannen, was born in 1964 and is Bill Tully's namesake. My 3 brothers and I are all former United States Marines. Thanks to the folks that have honored our uncle - his sacrifice means so much to us, as it does every veteran. Peace - Dan

It had been forty five years and I still remember the day you died. My life has been filled with so much joy I have a loving wife, three beautiful children and 2 wonderful grand children. Forty five years ago I could not envision the happiness that God allowed into my life. But for the grace of God it could have been me.
