Ptl. Harsh, the hell you went through has been revisited 100 years later. Though precautions were taken both then and now, many lives were lost, and may of those lives were taken from those working to help the sick.
We honor you and all those who went before and know, your sacrifice, though mirrored many years later, was not in vain.
God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
