Dearest Bill: I still miss you after all these years: your smile, your sense of humor and your guidance. But throughout all the discussions we had, I know that this is what you truly wanted to do. All my love always, Topsy.

Dear Grandpa, I can't wait to see you. You are very brave man. I wish I new you and had seen you. I know you were one of the nicest man from what Kate told me. She told me about your car and how you took your brothers and sisters around in your really nice car and they would get dirty and sticky but you did not say anything. I have a problem with my sisters they annoy me and their tattlers. I wish I was like you. Love you Matt.

A warrior was buried yesterday.

You can soar with the angels now, dear Colonel.

A lovely tribute and photo of LT William T. Allen (USAR) who was killed in VietNam on this date along with six other helicoptor pilots. RIP and thank you for your sacrifice.

Salute!

Your post today was especially touching....the wife, the grandson....a man who died way too young in a war nobody wants to remember. God Bless them all....the seven who lost their lives on this date in four different years.
