5 Jul 2002 TO A GREAT POINT MAN WHO DIED A HERO William (Buck) Austin It's been almost 33 years that your life was taken from you in an ambush. You have not been forgotten and you will be in our hearts forever. From Ralph (Sugar Bear) Winters & Ron (Festus) Hughes 6806 Notre Dame, Austin, Texas ron.hughes@house.state.tx.us

16 March 2003 No One Died Alone In the jungle of my heart, No one died alone ~ No one died in pain and fear Thinking of his home. In the graveyards of my memory Each one has a cross ~ For every one who perished there I seem to feel the loss. Every brother, sister, Father, son ~ They all belonged to Everyone ~ And in the shadows of the night When all is dark and calm ~ I say "goodnight" to all of those Who served in Vietnam. Though I never met him, he was my great uncle. I thought I would show my respect by giving this poem. From his greatniece, Tabitha Millsaps and his niece, Sharon (Austin) Hicks Tabitha Millsaps 208 Power Circle, Hudson NC 28638 curious_kitten_69_02@yahoo.com
