Tributes Memorial Page Established by Leon Merrow In Honor Of LCpl William C. Koprince If I could talk to you Billy here is what I would say Dear Billy I have come to know you through your parents. They are so very proud of you. Tomorrow will be 3 years since you have been gone. We are going to go to church with your mom and dad tomorrow. They are such wonderfull loving people. They are so very strong also. I have come to love them as dear friends and I feel the feeling is mutual. Billy I wish I could have served beside you because I feel I know you and you are the ultimate warrior. You put others so very far ahead of yourself. Thank you Billy for what you have given me. You have given me the privledge to live in a free country and to worship at any church I chose. You are the reason for our freedom. Your father wears a shirt that says "Not all the lost can be someone elses child". That is so very true. Your father is a remarkable individual. Bill as we honor you tomorrow we also honor your parents and your sister and all those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. We will thank God for you and for the privledge of knowing you through your parents. You see I am a veteran from the Vietnam era but I came home. Sometimes I feel so blessed by that and other times I feel so ashamed. Please listen to our prayers tomorrow for your parents. We know you are with the Lord so we don't worry about you but only miss you. Good by for now my brother. When I get to heaven I will look for you. I so very much want to shake your hand and tell you "Thank you my brother" God Bless you and God Bless America |
