PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) Herman Paul Magee was only 18 when he was killed in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, in 1968.
On the day after Thanksgiving, several of his classmates from Pascagoula’s Carver High School gathered at Gabriel Cemetery to pay tribute to their friend on his 71st birthday.
They remembered Magee, nicknamed Bubba, as friendly, family-oriented, a great math student, and dedicated to his mother.
“Bubba was one of those that always had a smile on his face,” said Le Roy Woodson, president of their high school class. “We’re very proud that God sent Bubba to us. We just enjoyed him for the short time he was with us.”
