View all 11 ReflectionsMy late father, Billy W. Fields, was an officer under your command at the time of your passing. Your impact on him led to my given first name, “David”, in 1963. I’ve been to your Memorial in Washington, DC, and penciled your etching from amongst the fallen. I look forward to sharing stories with you some glorious day.
