In August of this year while attending a conference in Washington D.C., I was able to visit the World War II Memorial. It stands in honor of those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Without them we would not have the freedoms we so enjoy. While there I looked for the records of my dads brother Deyon Frantz Knowles. He is the son of Eugene Arthur Knowles and Zelda Lucille Frantz.
The page at right comes from the computer system at the memorial. It documents the record of Deyon Frantz Knowles who died at sea on 16 November 1943. The picture below is of the marker that stands at the entrance of the memorial. No more fitting words could be spoken of these true American heroes. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten.
