William Reeder was born in Glendale, California. Raised in and around Los Angeles, he enlisted in the Army in 1965 after working as a U.S. Forest Service firefighter and electrical lineman for Southern California Edison. He had two tours of duty in Vietnam flying OV-1 Mohawk reconnaissance airplanes and AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters. On his second combat tour, he was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese, spending nearly a year as a prisoner of war. Through the Valley is his memoir of that experience. He has also finished his second book to be published early in 2022. It is titled, Extraordinary Valor: The Fight for Charlie Hill. It is the story of the heroes of a hard-fought battle during the 1972 Easter Offensive in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The outnumbered South Vietnamese 11th Airborne Battalion fought valiantly against an overwhelming North Vietnamese force for days before running out of food, water, and ammunition and being overrun. Of the 470 paratroopers on Charlie, only 36 survived, along with their badly wounded American advisor. The remaining 434 were killed, captured, or missing in action. William lives in Seabeck, Washington with his family.
