Timmy was a caring man
Timmy Dorsey, or 'Doc' to you vets, was a kind and caring man. Thank you David Izzo for posting that great photo of Timmy doing what he did best...caring for others. God bless him.

I did not know you William Dorsey. I am 14 and in school some Vietnam veterans came to speak with my class, they asked for volunteers and I raised my hand, they told me to stick my hand in a box and take out one name. I got yours. Your name and a piece of the American flag was in a small baggie. The Veterans told me to always keep this, and hold onto a piece of that soul. That's what I'm doing, I am gonna keep it till I die. I want to thank you Mr. Dorsey for serving in the Vietnam war, you are a true hero. Even though I never met you, I feel like you are with me now. Thank you once again.

God Bless you and ALL Medics and Corpsman!
My brother Dan is one of the guys blown out of that boat and into the water. Doc got him to shore, put a tourniquet on his leg and went back out in the water. My Brother Dan is retired in Ft Myers, Florida and Doc Dorsey is on The Wall. It sounds so insufficient, but Thank you, Doc. And thank you men who found him and brought him home on the 4th of July, now 45 years ago. I tell the story of ALL of your heroics to whoever I can. And as a 1967-68 USMC grunt I know what you did!

forever lasting meeting
It was in the middle of June 1970 and I was with C company for a couple of weeks and we had come back in when we got word that some guys from our unit ran over a land mine in a jeep and were blown up, two were dead and two were alive. As usual the call came out for us to mount up to do a security and clean up. Anyway I got my gear on and my aid bag and went to the launching area and I was standing with my Senior aid man Sp/5 Mike Cohill and Lt Simons when Doc Dorsey came up dressed too, he said that he would go out there and do his stuff. There wasn't even a pause when the Lt told me to stand down because Doc Dorsey had more experience than me, I'm a medic also. So I argued my point to no avail and was mad at him for taking my place that night, so my partner Eddie Murphy pulled me back and told me not to be upset that Dorsey was OK and he was real good. The next day I went by the Aid Station and one of the survivors was in there and they were checking him over but I did not see Dorsey to tell him I was not mad or anything. I was an NFG and missed something that happened to my guys and that bothered me but the Lt was the decider of the situation. Anyway Specialist Cohill told me how bad it was and be thankful I didn't go out that night. The next thing that was done I was moved to another fire support base and never saw Doc Dorsey again. Up comes July 3,1970 and we were being put in by birds when we got the word over the radio's that a group of our guys hit a mine planted in the water and people were thrown out of the boat into the river. This is what I heard 'They were riding in Kenner Boats when they hit a bomb in the water and were thrown from the boat and Dorsey had helped two people to safety and went to help the third person when the current took him under and then they could not find him. They set up a security perimeter that night and the next day found him 25 feet from were he went under.' That night I Knew it was him that was missing and my unit was still out in the field and all I could think of was he was all alone by himself and I never got to see him to tell I wasn't mad at him. I think about him a lot, He is truly authentic, never blinked always ready to do for others. That single incident has changed my life forever and how I react to people.
