10 May 2001 Conley was in B Company 1st Platoon 2nd Squad. He had the best voice you ever heard and was always singing rock and roll. Conley was killed in action on 4/13/66 in the Ho Bo Woods. Remembered by his comrades, the BOBCATS of the 5TH INFANTRY REGIMENT (MECH)

 

16 Nov 2004 You were one of "my guys". As your platoon leader I did my best to bring everyone home but I was not successful. I mourned your loss then and I do to this day. I carry your name in my wallet along with the names of your brothers in arms lost from my platoon. Know that those of us who served with you will not forget. From his Platoon Leader, Robert Whaley r.e.whaley@att.net
