Thank you Craig. It means a lot to us .
It's 15 years ago today that we lost our dad to the awful results Alzheimers. He was so patriotic and loved the USA serving in Army.

Talked with my 93 yo dad, Don Norkus, this evening. As he does sometimes, my dad brought up the fun times he had with Benny Barcella and Ed Stunges while they were all at Percy Jones VA Hospital after their experiences in the Korean war.
Please know that Mr. Barcella is still fondly thought of by friends.
I'm sorry for your loss
