 Pilot William “Bill” Talley knew his plane was going down. He just wanted to get as far away from the North Vietnamese village below while he still could. And he wanted to get on the other side of the rocky
hills before he collided with them.
The scarlet sky was thick with exploding Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs) and antiaircraft fire. This was typical for missions around the Hanoi area of North Vietnam, but it still made Bill’s blood pressure rise and his heart rate speed. His 561st squadron, the Wild Weasels, would seek out the mobile SAM sites and destroy them. Major Bill Talley was flying a special-equipped, two-place F-105 jet fighter bomber. His Electronic Warfare Officer, affectionately called his Bear, navigated from the back. Their mission was to support a strike force of approximately 24 fighter bombers with targets throughout Hanoi.

Dignity Memorial funeral, cremation and cemetery providers created a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. , as a service to those who might never visit the nation’s capital to experience “The Wall” firsthand. Dedicated to Vietnam veterans and honoring all U.S. service-men and women, the three quarter scale, faux granite replica is a 240 feet long, eight feet high and contains the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. It brings healing to veterans, awareness to younger generations and contemplation to all who gaze into its reflective surface.
