On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the the U.S. Army in Europe as a member of the 95th Infantry Division-the “Victory” Division which the 377th Infantry Regiment was a part of fighting the Germans during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
