On a number of occasions I have tried to contact Captain Roger's family and relate my acquaintance, but have been unsuccessful. If any of his family reads this and would like to here my story of this good man, I would love to talk to you. I had and still have the highest regard for this man who gave his all for the preservation of our freedoms. Roger M Cook
My husband, Jerry Bradford, was in Vietnam with B Battery 6th Battalion, 77th Artillery. He often told of an Army Captain that caught a shell in the armhole of his flack jacket on May 12, 1968 (Mother's Day) during heavy fire and heavy casualties. The blast blew Jerry backward. The Army Captain was down. Jerry helped carry the Captain into a bunker then went back to the battle. Susan Bradford
I haven't forgotten you Billy. All the laughs, skipping school, and the times you spent coming over the house in H.S. Mommy & Daddy are gone now, but they both were upset when God needed you more. I know you all are looking down waiting for me so we all can be together again. I visited the wall July 16, 2004 but the east wall was shut down. I'll be back to see you. I will never forget you, we were good high school buddies. I know you had a daughter & some family. I wish they would contact me. Eddie Motley
