Sonny and I were called brothers by our neighborhood friends. He was living with me and my 4 other brothers in my parents home. He said he was disgusted and was going to join the Army. He asked me if I wanted to go with him. I said yes. The following morning he got up and asked, still want to go; I said no. He went to join and that's the last I heard of him. His serial number is 5 numbers away from mine, I found out he was killed in action when I wrote him a letter from Ft. Lewis Washington. I was with the 955th Field Artillery Battalion. He had a beautiful sister named Nellie. The family often wondered what happened to her. (Angelo Rosa)
