Gloria,

Can you tell us about Victor Hickens? He is from IL, neighboring County,
isn't he? We need a hero on Veterans Day. My brother fought in WWII on
the FRONT, too. Came out with only a scratch on his hand where a bullet
had grazed. But also with many memories which he wouldn't talk about for
years. Only when he was very ill did he tell us about some of his
experiences. He is with his maker today but I will never forget him. He
is my hero! His name was Ivan Laverne STEWART. He was born in neighboring
county of Macoupin.

Thanks to you and all other Veterans on this your day. I am proud of all
of you.
