Anyone remember Billy Allen Hayes from the 179th, 45th Div?

Comments: Allen Hayes as I knew him was my father's best friend. They grew up together in East Lynn, Illinois where now both my dad and Allen are buried side by side. Allen was killed in Korea and his gravestone has the military unit identification listed above. I am wanting to speak with any veteran of his unit who may have known him. He has kind of haunted my life. I was just a kid, finding it strange that someone I knew came back from war in a box. By the late 60s, I served in Vietnam and since my father has been dead since 1954, I can't ask him about Billy and how he died. If anyone knows, I would appreciate the contact over Larry Haley
