BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Bill Wilson’s son, Staff Sergeant William Wilson the third, was killed while he was fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan.
On Saturday he and his wife attended a memorial in honor of the fallen servicemen and women that died after September 11, 2001.
“We took a look at his picture. My wife touched his name and it’s been pretty emotional today” said Wilson.
The new Western New York Iraq/Afghanistan Memorial bears the names of more than 70 military members that lost their lives.
“It’s not just names that carved into a piece of stone. There are stories. There are people here who served with them. There are people and those among us who have troops that we did not bring home” said Dan Frontera of the WNY IAM Committee. “We’re hoping this becomes a point where we can start our healing and our forgiveness process”.
