You are quite welcome. I was proud to serve with some of the finest Marines the Corps has ever produced. And thank you again for remembering your friend. Do not think for a moment that he and many others do not appreciate what you have done and will continue to do for them. Never Forget! Semper Fi, Kelly

Thank you for your service- I am grateful to all who have served.

My father was a marine in Vietnam, and is the finest man I know. My Grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, and I served in the Navy during Desert Storm. Despite our inter-service rivalries, I have always been proud of the heritage of service and defense of this wonderful country handed down to me.

You have helped me keep this thread going, and I won't ever forget it. And thank you for your tribute to Billy. I am very determined to meet my goal of 100 tributes to him. I've checked out the Wall website many times, and keep hoping to see more.

I remember hearing about his death, and what caused it, and how it devastated me at the time.

He was not killed by a gunshot wound by the enemy. He was killed because he had the heart to answer the call of a child who said she was hungry and begged for food from him. When he approached her to give her a piece of candy he had, he stepped on a strategically placed land mine. The bottom part of his body was blown off. When his remains were brought back home, his family was able to have an open casket, the top part of his body was still intact.

So, when I think of Kerry and his disrespectful words and condemnation toward his "fellow" Vietnam Veterans, I get mad. Very mad.

Every move Kerry has made since he was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth has been well planned and orchestrated. From his friendship with the Kennedy's, to his bogus medals, to his marriages for money, to his relationship with the mainstream media, and ultimately his run for the presidency.

It may not be much, but I will do everything in my power to make sure he is exposed for the liar, cheat, coward and traitor to our country that he is.

This one's for you, Billy.
