I don't know anything about him. Is this going to hurt?

He was tailor made as a DE for a 4-3. I really liked his film coming out of high school, but the new scheme does not fit him at all.

Since Memorial Day is on Monday here's an American Hero. Here is PFC Charles George of Cherokee,North Carolina who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in the Korean War. On November 30th 1952 while leaving Chinese trenches during a recon mission a Chinese soldier hurled a hand grenade in the midst of PFC George and his comrades. PFC George yelled a warning,pushed his comrade out of the way of the danger and fell on the grenade absorbing the blast of the explosion. Although he was mortally wounded he never made a noise that would have given away their position. His comrades carried him away and he died at the forward aid station. Charles George was 20 years old.

Barrancas Cemetery has 91 Vietnam and 21 other Fallen .
Working w the local staff and using the virtual wall was the way we found the fallen. In this time its hard to imagine that the data bases for national cemetery and the dept of defense (kia) can't be quiried to report the location of the fallen.
2 congressmen tried.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks mike - may try one more time to get these govt data bases to talk to each other.

on the other hand i think the Find A grave folks may have accomplished some portion of this as they have the data from graves registrar. Maybe they would like to add a feature to find a fallen vet for memorial day !
thanks mike!

No one has ever won a Medal of Honor. It is Awarded for: Conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. May God bless each and every one.

If Tech scores TDs on the final play of every half this year, we can win 10 or 11 games.

Not as many as we win if we take a knee on the final play of every half this year.

I give thanks to all of the brave warriors, service men and women, who fought and died for my freedom. They are remembered particularly on this day but are never forgotten. May our nation always treasure the sacrifices they and their loved ones made for all Americans and many other peoples of the world.

Here also is the American Cemetery at Normandy where 9,387 US Soldiers who fought at the Battle of Normandy are buried including Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during D-Day.
