My Dad, a favorite uncle and another uncle, a purple heart recipient I only know from photos and stories. May their service and contribution always be remembered"

Art was the first soldier to be killed in action from the Norfolk area in WWII. He was awarded the Purple Heartl for his service. He was only 28 years old at his death. Since Art died so young, there are very few people alive who actually knew him; however, both of his brothers (Arnie and Gib) kept him alive in our memories.
