SSgt Bill (RotorBill) Walker
My apologies to the Red Lions as squadron of William (RotorBill) Walker, and not HMM-362, as was reported in the newspapers.
I should had caught that mistake, I knew Bill was with 363, as was my hometown buddy, Albert (Butch) Valliere, Ky Ha - 1966.
* Bill's grave site is marked on google earth, should anyone wish to find him.
