They Made the Ultimate Sacrifice

Buried in the Attic: Stories Grandma Never Told Us by Lynette Kleisner

Episode notes

Horace Gilbert, Fritzie Stelter, and James Sefrhans, Jr. all had one thing in common: They all died while in service to their country. Horace in the Civil War, Fritzie in World War II, and Jimmy in Vietnam. Learn more about these three men - my only relatives who didn't come home from the wars in which they served.
