“My father was a very good man, and just because he died so old there’s nobody left to come...” They were more than very good...they were the greatest. I’m disabled and can not attend but know I will be there in spirit.

I live in the area, and I shared on Facebook. I have vets in the family, so they should be able to help spread the word.

If someone contacts the nearest post they will send an honor guard. A congregation was sent from GA to FL for my brother’s funeral. Godspeed.

Offering my deepest gratitude for the life + legacy of Pvt. Cornelius Cornelssen VIII, a heavy machine gunner with the 101st Infantry during WWII. A humble, courageous man, Pvt. Cornelssen served his country honorably and with firm resolve. Rest in peace, soldier. Day is done.
