Veteran’s Legacy Project

What would you like to share about your loved one’s service and dedication within the military?
Willie completed book camp at Camp Lejeune and Parris, Island before joining the motor pool. This was the prefect job for him because he loved working on cars and trucks. His tours included: Cuba, Okinawa, and San Fransico before mustering out at Quantico, Virginia.

What is your favorite memory of your loved one? This does not have to be related to his/her military service.
Willie was bagel baker and my favorite memory of him is his arrival in the parking lot at the end of the day passing out hot bagels to the children. He loved helping the young people in the neighborhood and was always available to them for long talks.
