I'm sure it was. I have a hard time imagining what my grandmother went through from January 23 when she received the report that he was MIA until July 8 when the telegram came, especially considering that Germany had surrendered and hostilities ceased on May 8.

Harry was my mom's older brother and only other sibling. Both my grandmother and my mom often told me how much I reminded them of him. I feel like I knew him even though he died 16 years before I was born. I will probably post a little more about him here as I prepare for the ride.

LR, thank you. I appreciate the support. I'll post details of that once I chose a worthy charity.
