Irwin was a good friend and "Homie". We shared a common home town, New York City, and spent long hours together reminiscing.

He was clever, intelligent, and so much fun to be with.

I deeply regret his loss. I deeply regret lacking the courage to meet his parents, upon my return home.

From a friend.

Captain William Dabney commanded the Marines on Hill 881S, and today he maintains a web site in honor and remembrance of the
