CURRENT EVENTS of INTEREST for
VETERANS and PATRIOTS of 
COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS ...

40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF THE VIETNAM WAR

Forty years ago in 1973, the Vietnam War ended. Twenty-one young men from Collin County who went off to fight in that war, never returned. Many young patriots took to heart the words of President John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you - Ask what you can do for your country." We served selflessly and heroically, only to come home to an ungrateful nation.
From Collin County Freedom Fighters to all Vietnam Veterans,
"WELCOME HOME!"

ANOTHER NAME SUBMITTED FOR WALL OF HONOR 

The name of US Army Specialist 5th Class Billy Ray Dennis, 34, has been submitted to the McKinney Armed Services Memorial Board for inclusion on the Wall of Honor at the Veterans Memorial Park in McKinney. Sp 5 Dennis died 3 January, 1963, while on active duty with 7th Medical Battalion in Korea. Born in McKinney, 5 January, 1928, the son of Virgil S. Dennis and Eunice Lois Decker Dennis of 402 Leland Street, Billy Ray was drafted in 1946 to serve in the Army of Occupation in Germany after WWII. A veteran of 16 years service, at the time of death he was posted near Seoul, Korea. The official cause of death was listed as a heart attack. Sp. 5 Dennis was a member of the 26th Infantry rifle and pistol teams, and was an instructor on the rifle range, winning numerous awards in firing competition. Services were held at the East Christian Church in McKinney; burial was in Ridgeview Cemetery by Crouch Moore Funeral Home. There are currently 350 names on the Wall of Honor.
