William J. Connolly

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Wes Taylor on April 6, 2021:

Dear Bill,
You were a great classmate and friend in the 'old 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, KY. We were both bachelors then.
Along came Vietnam. You deployed early, as I recalled, with the 501st, which became part of the 173d Airborne Brigade.
I came over slightly later, as an advisor with the Vietnamese Airborne Division.
Thanks for remembering Linda and me at her funeral services in September, 2015. Wish I could be with you at this time, but I've since sold our retirement home, and moved back to Columbus, Georgia.
Wes Taylor, '65, USMA
