Josh was an American Indian, Cherokee, and very proud of his heritage. Josh was a graduate of Sequoyah High School, a Bureau of Indian Affairs Boarding School located at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Josh was not with us very long but made a very positive impression on all he met. Josh was felled by a single bullet while carrying the radio for his squad leader Tom Selhime.

Josh is buried at the Euwasha Baptist Church, Salina, OK
