George was my uncle whom I had not met since I was born December 1955. 5 years after he died in action. My father is still alive, George's oldest brother. He knows many stories about George. George was known to stand up and defend his family, friends or a victim of a bully.
My brother has the American flag and Purple Heart given to my grandparents plus other memorabilia. (Lin Gowin-O'Brien)
