LCpl.
William Lloyd Crawford served with the 1st Recon Battalion,
B Company. His name stands proudly on the 1st
Recon Battalion Wall of Honor. Semper fi, Brother Marine.
We
will never forget.
I
still remember
Bill was a big, strong kid with an easy way about him. I left VN before
he was killed, and my friend Bill Clark wrote me of his death. As
I get older some of the memories are fading, but not the loss of a
friend. Rest in peace old friend; we'll all be there some day getting
ready for another formation.

Bill,
you are always on my mind and in my heart. I will always offer prayers
for you. Sorry you had to miss so much. We'll miss you again this
year at the Reunion. Your friend in mourning, Lar.

Friend
Bill taught me how to play guitar and have a good time.
We were the last military unit to go ashore like they did in World War
II by landing craft.
Rest well my good friend,
Larry Chavez
