Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

In remembrance of your birthday. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice for such an unthankful nation. I am sorry that you like many before and after are not celebrated as much as you should be, HEROES to everyone. Unknown to me, but never forgotten. Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace

You're Not Who We Thought You Were
Well, if ever there was a John Wayne in Nam, Billy would have been HIM. I still have a hard time to this day trying to make sense of what happened to you. That morning on the 21st of Jan. on Hill 861, you were running around zapping & fragging snipers hidden in the shitters, coming to our holes asking if we needed anything and if everyone was OK. In the middle of all the fire,smoke and confusion and getting wounded, you still was playing John Wayne on the Hill. I remember when our 106mm blew up from a sachel charge and we were completely out of any kind of ammo. Someone had passed the word down in the trench that "PUFF" was coming, "PUFF" was comming (Puff the Magic Dragon Gun Ship)was coming to save our butts, when we finally realized that Puff was not coming we were asking around the trench and they had said that everyone was thinking it was Puff coming but instead they were saying "HUFF" was coming, you were coming around passing out what ammo you could get. Then later that morning we found out that you had gotten wounded and was moved off the hill to get patched up. We heard from Khe Sanh base on our Hill (Hill 861) that you and Ed Lentz were picking up mail & supplies off of the runway, what was left of it, and an enemy rocket, mortar or arty had hit close by and you had gotten hit again. Don't know if that really how it was or not but that is what we heard on the hill. Hey, I just want to thank you for being there when we needed someone and will always remember what you did on the Hill that morning, and will have a few laughs about it too. You are "The Real Duke" Billy and you should be remembered as a Hero, True Hero on the Hill. Medal of Honor in our Hearts if not anyone elses. Semper Fi brother and God Bless! Fast Eddie
