William was a 2001 Mountain View High School graduate. He was eager to join the U.S. Marine Corp, and became the youngest Marine to graduate MCRD, San Diego. Proudly serving his Country, William was stationed on Presidential Support at Camp David, guarding President George W. Bush from 2001-2004. He was then deployed to Iraq with the 3/1 India Company. On his second tour of duty came his untimely death, at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. William will be missed by all of his friends and loving family.

I met Willy in Fallujah in 2004. I'm trying to get in touch with his family or former fiance.

I served with Will aboard Camp David in 2001 and 2002 and was also at the Marine Barracks with him for a short time in 2001. I spent many hours standing post and lifting weights with Will and I consider it one of my failings that I allowed us to lose touch after I left Camp in 2002. I have wondered many many times and still do if things would have been different if we would have remained in contact. I think of myself going to college after I had gotten out in 2005 and 2006 and of what my friend was suffering through, left to whither away in some shitty sickbay. All I can do is pound my fist on a table or cry over the missed opportunity to help a brother. William Wold was a good Marine and a good friend. His steadfast commitment to duty is a testament to himself, his family, and the ideals of the Marine Corps.
