"I never knew Billy; however, I served with and knew many heroes like him - not as a Marine, but as an Army Officer and a Special Agent with the US State Department with Marine Security Guards around the world, in hot spots, like Vietnam, Cambodia, Pakistan & Burundi - I lost my father in WW II in the South Pacific so I know that words alone can not offer enough comfort - rest asured that I will pray for Billy and you his love ones - as the words say in the Marine Corps Hymn - he is now patrolling the streets of Heaven - Semper Fi."
