Visited the Arizona memorial and though I did not know pvt. Henry Kalinowski. I felt that somehow we had a connection. Rest in peace, sir. You will always be in my prayers.
This is my Great Great Uncle. He is from Ohio and my Great Uncle’s and Aunts worked to get State Route 11 in Ashtabula, OH named after him and they did. Its a wonderful honor to him, from my Uncle’s that also served our country, in the Vietnam war.
