RIP Capt Bill Winter USMC

Was on the USS A.W. Radford during this time, we provided gun fire support prior to bombing. We left prior to bombing for a brief repair in La Mad, and then returned after. Prior to leaving our Asst Supply Officer delivered some candy, smokes, etc from the ship store. So sad. RIP warriors.
 
We lived in married officers quarters on the Naval Amphibious Base at Little Creek, Va., at that time. That awful morning, early, I walked out to get the paper and found half of my neighbors in the street.

Semper fi.
