Thanks for this thread. It makes me sad. This is the only name I know on the wall. This is my mothers cousin and he was killed when I was 3 months old. I don't know much about my mothers side of the family and don't know if this is true or not, but I remember my uncle telling me this: Stephen was one of 5 brothers. 4 of them were good for nothing and Stephen was the only good one who was ever going to amount to anything. I hope that's not true today. But it was a tragic loss for the family then, because Stephen was so good. He's in a better place and I look forward to getting to know him someday.

This is the only name I know on the wall. This is my mother's first cousin and he was killed before I was born. What makes it even more sad is that his last letter home to his mother (written on the back of a K-ration box) arrived 3 days after the telegram notifying the family of his death.
