Ben, of course, you would honor such a giant of a personality.

We all wish you, Col. Bill Boyle, the most pleasant birthday.

As a radio operator in the como platoon, I never expected the care an honor for mortar tube toting a battalion commander on morning runs until you really impressed us every day in that respect.

Ben:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BILL BOYLE.

Here is a guy with 517th guts. His wounds from the Bulge were severe enough to give him a medical discharge and pension for life. He refused the soft way out, rehabilitated himself and finished an illustrious Army career. You can always get a measure of a man by the lady he chooses for a wife. He met Babbie while stationed in Chicago and that was it for a lifetime partnership.

All the 517th troopers salute you and wish you and Babbie a great day!

Howard Hensleigh

TO COLONEL BOYLE,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GOD BLESS WILD BILL BOYLE !!
