Wayne E Boyce
Veterans Day 2011 a man approached me looking at the display of the FSSF and my grandfathers items from WWII. He asked me if I knew much about hte unit and as I told him yes he started to tell me that his brother was a amember of the Force and died on Mt La Difensa. Amazed that this man lives just 20 minutes away from me he came to my business and shared Waynes story and photos with me. I am grateful for the chance to meet and hope this honors his brother in the best way I can. 1st Lt 5-2 Jerome, Idaho - KIA 5 Dec 1943 |
