I'm looking for information about my mother's brother, T. Sgt. Vernon Hairell of Yoakum, Texas. He was killed in Italy in early 1944 - quite possibly
at the Rapido. With Mom gone, as well as her sister and her other brother, I'm not sure how much of Vernon's materials survived, including photos etc.
I'm concerned his legacy of service will be lost. The date of his death and his Infantry Regiment are on the grave stone, but that's back in Texas and
something I won't get to check for months and months. Can someone associated with 36th association tell me his regiment, the date of his death and possibly
where (Rapido, Monte Cassino, etc)?
Please also tell me about the asscociation. How would one join and what's involved? Thanks!
