Patti Brown honors:
My dad served in the C-B-I theater during WWI, was in ROTC during Korea while earning his B.A. at Washburn U in Topeka, and then was called back, serving at USAF Johnson Air Base in Tachikawa, Japan (where I was born)which was the headquarters for the 41st Air Division and the 3rd Bombardment Wing. My dad was a proud American who loved his country. After his time in India, he said his idea of "enjoying" the outdoors was his patio with his grill and a martini.

Marion was my uncle. He died during the D-Day invasion. I was privileged to visit his grave in the Normandy American Cemetery in 1999. Marion was with a tank maintenance company. He was one of 27 in his company that died when a German torpedo sunk their ship while awaiting their landing off Omaha Beach. His two brothers, my dad and another uncle, both served in the Army and returned home to their families.
