Billy was my brother, 3 years older than I. He was in Vietnam for 10 days before he died. We don't know circumstances of his death. Billy was 18 years old, a great brother to a pesty younger sister. Did not know this site existed but would appreciate any info anyone may have. God bless all of you who served, and gave the ultimate sacrifice.

From his sister.

From your older sister: We miss you even today. What would you have been like as a grown man? Your memory will never be erased as long as your sisters live. Thanks you for the ultimate sacrifice so that all of our children are living in a free world today. I'm so proud you were my brother.
