7 Feb 2005 Such a kind and gentle person you were, Bob. You were one good medic. I think of you and all the men from Delta Company 1/506 who made the ultimate sacrifice in the year 1970. Currahee! From a friend, Tony Cox afcox@att.net

 

17 Nov 2005 You were one of the most courageous football players I have ever known. I remember and often think of the Weslaco Panther teams of 1963 and 1964. From his football coach, Kenneth McNutt kmcnutt35@att.net

 

30 Nov 2005 Doc Hays was by my side when hit by mortar fire. I think to this day he took the brunt of the round as we were both hit at the same time. If this had not happened, I would not be around today. Thanks Doc, I will remember you forever -- Wally. From a fellow CURRAHEE, Walter M Jurinen wjurinen@chartermi.net

 

14 Sep 2007 Uncle Bobby, I never knew you but I carry your name. I am your brother's youngest son. Now I serve in the Marines. I try and carry on your glorious name and serve the same. Rest in Peace, Uncle Bobby, now I have the watch. Robert Bradford Hays, II SSgt USMC hays0369@hawaii.rr.com
