FROM VIETNAM TO MACY'S--HANGING WITH DUB NATION'S HARRISON BARNES!
THANK YOU, JOHNNIE BURRELL
While traveling in Vietnam we got the great news about the Warriors, as my sister and I Phyllis Cameron, an insurance executive with CNA, did some first hand research about the fallen warrior in our family, our Dad, Sp5 Wyley Wright Jr., who was honored with the Vinh Long U.S. Army airfield "Shannon Wright" being named in tribute to him after his death as an honor guard for Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, during
the Vietnam War.
What a kick for me to come back and get a call from Johnnie Burrell about covering H.B.
