This post is to once again honor Uncle Marion. As I mentioned before, he was killed in World War II. He was only 25 years old.
Can look at this picture without smiling?! What a cute toddler.
This is another picture I just love. Grandma looks so happy with her two oldest sons beside her. Uncle Marion has his arm lovingly around Grandma and is also holding onto Uncle Clarence's arm. 
Marion George FedererAugust 18, 1920 ~ February 25, 1945
This picture is of Sgt. J.M. Brown. He had the unpleasant assignment of telling Grandma and Grandpa that Uncle Marion had been killed.
Originally Uncle Marion was buried in Holland but Grandma and Grandpa decided later to bring his body home. He was honored with a military service and the traditional 21 gun salute. I have many other stories I will share about Uncle Marion in the Homestead Book. He will always be our hero.
