Honor and Remember chapter Presents Memorial Flag to East Amherst Family

East Amherst, N.Y., August 24, 2014– The Honor and Remember chapter recently presented a personalized “Honor and Remember” flag to the families of SSG William R. Wilson III, which was sponsored by Frontier Communications during a ceremony at the AJ Jurek American Legion near Buffalo, NY.  

SSgt Wilson was born Feb 28, 1985 & died at the age of 27 on the 26th of March, 2012, in the province of Paktica, Afghanistan from wounds of small arms fire while on his third combat tour.  Upon graduating North Williamsville High School in 2003, SSgt Wilson enlisted in the United States Army in 2005. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 172nd Infantry Brigade, Grafenwoehr, Germany. Billy was a squad leader for 2nd Platoon, Company A, 2-28, and made more than 200 patrols in the mountainous district.

Billy Wilson & this flag represent all of the fallen soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our Freedom. His life was marked by a willingness to put others before himself, to pursue duty over comfort, and to do what was right even when it was not convenient. At a time when old-fashioned virtues seem cliché and traditional values feel empty, his life held decency, courage, loyalty and patriotism. This flag is just one more reminder that our nation is eternally grateful, and as someone put it to me recently, we can never have enough reminders. 

Today, with this flag, we Honored and Remembered Army SSgt William R. Wilson III, better known as Billy, along with his Family ~ parents Kim & Bill, younger brothers Jeremy and Wesley, Grandmother Sonya, Aunt Judy, Aunt Karen and Uncle Patrick, as well as Aunt Dawn and Uncle Bob, who lost their son, brother, grandson, & nephew.
