Clyde was a very smart, loving, youthful man. He volunteered to serve his country like all the other men in his family. He was brave and good like all those who served with him. He is greatly missed and his family would love to hear from anyone who served with him in Vietnam. Please contact Sonya at smitchel@guilford.edu

We love you, Clyde, and miss you greatly.

From his niece,
