In Memory Of for John Bryan, Jr., United States Military, Honored by NY State Veterans Cemetery - Finger Lakes (Formerly Sampson)
In honor of my late father and five uncles who all left Geneva, NY to serve during World War II in the Army, Navy, Marines and Army Air Force in the Caribbean, Europe and the Pacific. For my parents, they did not see or talk with each other between Dec. 1942 and Nov. 1945 while my dad served in an Army amphibious unit making landings in New Guinea and the Philippines and briefly occupying Yokohama, Japan. My mom knew only that it was unlikely he was in Europe since they loaded mosquito netting before shipping out from San Francisco.
