he was my grandmothers brother, which i think makes him my great uncle? and i never got to meet the guy. somehow, i think he was a cool guy, and it would've been cool as all hell being able to talk to him when i was growing up.

i'm gonna see if i can find anything on where he was stationed during the war, and where he was killed. i remember my grandmom telling us that he was dragging an injured soldier to cover when he was shot, but that's all i remember ever hearing her say about it....and that was when i was a kid. in fact, i think i'm gonna call my uncle, see if he knows any more too.........
