Emmett Harvey Horn

This was my uncle and although I never met him, as I was only 3 years of age and he was fighting for our country, I feel like I knew him as his family was so very proud of him. He left a memory of immense appreciation for him in his attempts to protect us. His family has missed him all these years and he will always be remembered by his family as a hero. We love you Uncle Harvey.
