This information came from a local obituary for
Kenny. He was a next door neighbor when we were
growing up and we both went to the same high
school. He graduated the year ahead of me. I had
not seen him since high school though knew where
his business was and what he did for a living. I
have no idea what unit he served in or the dates
of his tour.
