My uncle was a brave man, as my father said “the best of the bunch,” cut down by “friendly fire.”

The entire town turned out for a day of mourning. It is forever seared in my memory.

Yes, he was a brave man - and I'll always remember the men like him and be humbled that I could be counted among them.

It's terrible that he was killed by "friendly" fire. Given the scale and chaos of that war, sometimes it happened.

I'll keep your uncle in my prayers.
