I only know of Arlin because he was from the town I grew up in and his name was called each year at the Memorial Day service. I later found out that my father and uncle knew him growing up. I spoke with my uncle when I was in college for a paper I was writing about the war and learned many things about the war, including how he felt when he heard about Arlin being killed. |
