WILLIAM ARTHUR DeBATES was one of the first persons I met upon entering D Company 4th Battalion 12th Infantry 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Vietnam. He was a fine person who came from a good family. William was innocently caught in a very tragic accident that took his life and the lives of two other people, a grenade accident on top of a bunker. May he now rest in peace in the golden light of eternal love, from now and forever more.
Your friend and comrade in arms, SGT Richard Allen Thursby and PFC James Earl Bouyer also died in the same grenade accident.
