Trying to find a buddy

During my tour in Vietnam Sept 68 to Sept 69 is was at a firebase west of Dakto, 4th Inf div, 2/8th Inf.
I was with a buddy, Bill Spicer, and a couple other guys talking. A mortar round hit a few yards behind Bill and I. Bill took a hit in the kidneys and was not wearing his flak jacket. I was hit with 3 pieces, but I was wearing my jacket and it stopped them.
Bill was medivaced out and I never saw him again.
Does anyone know where I can go to get records on wounded?????. I have been trying to find him for years with no luck.

I have called just about every Bill Spicer I could find in the phone book and tried google search.
He did not die as his name is not in the directory I have of the names on the wall. He would likely be about 60 now.
