LAHAYE EDWARD J
8TH AIR FORCE
I had the great honor of visiting the Normandy American Cemetery in June, 2023. I walked the grounds until I found a Texas soldier. It was that of Edward J Lahaye. It was truly a moving experience. I hoped to reach out to his family with a photo of his cross, but see it is already posted on this

Let us remember those young soldiers who changed the course of history with their sacrifice. Let us commit ourselves to remembering their sacrifice by cherishing the freedom they bought for all generations that follow. Honored by Laurent Lefebvre [June 5, 2024]

Edgar Kimball was my brother, he was one of 15 children,he was the first born son to Ralph and Vera Kimball. He was a great son and soldier! Our family is so very proud of the soldier that he was. His family still misses him terribly. He was a TRUE HERO who died protecting his country. RIP Honored by Zella Elmore [2013-07-29 00:49:35]
