I served with Wilmer Clay in the Army when I was stationed at Camp Red Cloud, South Korea. He was my best friend when I was in Korea, and while he may not have felt the same, he always had my back. I was a naive 21 year old Okie and needed all the help I could get, lol. I sincerely regret not having kept in touch, Clay was as cool as the day is long and a great person. Blessings to you all.
