My name is Dennis Treanor and John Jr is my brother. I was only one year old when he died so we never got the chance to meet. Our Mom kept a box of all the letters from Johnny Jr and when she went into a care center I found the box and read the letters. I have put the flag that came home with him in a case and is diplayed in my home along with three medals and a picture of him in a shadow box. It helped to be able to know a little more about the man whose grave we visited every Memorial Day.
