Bernard J. Fisher was from Luzerne, Pennsylvania. He was born in 1929, which means he was 21 or so when he died. I was hoping to learn more about him but found little. No matter. He was an American soldier, no longer unknown to us and never forgotten by those with whom he served. “He will be buried with full military honors July 9, 2013, at Arlington National Cemetery.” Welcome home.
Welcome home, Sgt.
Welcome home, brother in arms.
Rest in Peace, Sgt.
