Fred Harrison & World War II

 World War II took Fred Harrison prematurely from this world.  He left behind a wife and two small children.  I thought of him and we talked about him when we visited the veterans war memorial of Texas.  He was my grandfather’s sister’s husband.  Following the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, he survived in the ocean until he was rescued, but then died in the hospital.
