Hello again, Marine. This is JoJo..... you remember, the guy who was right next to you right before you met Jesus face to face. I know you've been standing Guard Duty for 36 years in Heaven now. And, I'm sorry I've been so late in relieving you, but it should be soon, my friend. Willie, I've not forgotten you in 36 years. I think about you almost every day. Some days I'm just too wasted to remember. I hope somebody in your family will read this, late as it is, and allow the blessing that was mine in knowing you, to get passed on to them thru contact. If not, I'll be there soon, Brother. Pfc. JoJo Creech. 9-6-69.

From a Marine Brother,
Pfc. Jo Jo Creech

I was in the same unit with Willie, and remember the day he fell as if it was yesterday. He will always be remembered as a Brother and never forgotten.

SEMPER FI
