Sgt. William M. Bays was a U.S. Army soldier who tragically lost his life on June 10, 2017, in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, while supporting military operations. He was 29 years old and hailed from Barstow, California

He was a true friend and a hell of a warrior. He loved his troops, and was comitted to service, leadership, and teaching. I met him through our retention program and I admired his willingness to learn all he could to better serve his company and his soldiers.
