For twelve months, he ferried bullets, bombs, and body bags from the Mekong Delta to Quang Tri. His plane was hit thirteen times by enemy fire. Still, he snapped photos, wrote poems, and kept journals to record events that changed his life forever. The result is his coming of age memoir, Pizza & Mortars: Ba-muoi-ba & Body Bags.
For his Vietnam service, Bill received an Air Medal, Vietnam Campaign and Service medals, a National Defense Service medal, and a certificate of appreciation from General Westmoreland.view less
