What's this?

Update on military medals from yesterday...You can't make this stuff up...


So, do some more digging on this veteran and things from my buddy and other things I'm finding are not adding up. He was sure he was from Eastern NC, but the soldier I find with a matching name is from VA. He finds an old wedding album and sends a picture of him to me. BINGO! Found him...

You're not going to believe this...

He's a Hokie.

William Winton Webb, VTCC Class of 1964

KIA Vietnam June 5, 1966

Name is carved on the HONOR Pylon at the War Memorial.

Quite frankly, I'm speechless. I was not expecting this. I'm working with some folks to see about getting these back to VTCC or the university in some fashion. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone, I'll be sure to update everyone on what happens with the VTCC.
