Best teacher I have ever had. I got to know him and got to hear about some of his military career from him. He was a green beret. Never forgotten Sgt. Major Chong. Rest in peace.

SGM Chong indeed lived a life well spent. We who had the privilege of his acquaintance, are better for the experience. I wish him good travels in the next world and pray his family is well during this difficult time. - Dennis Pettitt, WHHS Class of '91
