The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Fay Alvin Williams our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Fay. And to Fay it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Vietnam War while serving as a medic in the U.S. Army. Fay, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Fay's family and loved ones.

Condolences to the family. I enjoyed playing music with Fay from time to time - he showed me how to play "Let Jessie Rob the Train"...and he really helped us out with the dirt work at our place in Mooringsport. He will be missed.

So many memories were made with Fay, Earl, Clyde and "the boys", from camping out on Jeems Bayou drinking coffee brewed in the can, to making music, fixing up cars and running the roads. He was a good friend. My condolences to the families......
