WILLIAM JOSEPH CYR
Major Award: Silver Star

I just ran across the Vietnam Security Police Association's wonderful site, and looking around I ran across my best friend's name, Billy Cyr. Billy and I grew up together in Webster from the 1950's thru 1966, when we all seemed to have joined the service. I was a Seabee in Nam from 1967 to 1969, and remember TET very well.

I am so happy to know Billy is not forgotten by those who served with him. I am returning to this site on a regular basis to learn more of him and his Brothers.

Please continue to keep this site a Holy Ground for These Fallen Warriors. I have been fighting to get Billy's name placed on our Vietnam Memorial in Webster* but it falls on deaf ears. Billy was great kid, and voted the Webster-Dudley Boy's Club Boy Of The Year -- twice.

Semper Fi my friend,

Ron Pariseau,
11th Seabees, Northern I-Corp 67-69
