The members of The American Legion Post 1941 in La Grange wish to offer our condolences to Harry’s family. We are losing our WWII veterans at a decreasing rate because there are fewer and fewer of them left with every passing day. So sad. The “Greatest Generation” for certain. Harry’s name, dates and branch of service will be engraved on a plaque added to the wall of heroes in the lobby of our Post Home. Thanks for your service Harry, you will be missed by your veteran brothers and sisters.
