Yes, Ben I did read Floyd's message about my uncle William Thorng. Floyd
and I had had a nice conversation on the telephone about a year ago about my
uncle and I was able to tell him that the little St. Christopher medal that
Chuck was carrying in his pocket when he was killed did indeed make it home.
Floyd was the one that went back after the battle that killed him and
got it out of his pocket. I guess Floyd had wondered about that for a long
time.
I appreciate hearing any information about my uncle, but mostly I just
enjoy hearing anything you guys are talking about. You are all truly my
heroes.
