Soon after graduating from High School as Valedictorian of his Senior Class, my uncle, Harry Sessler, enlisted and served in the U.S. Marine Corp during WWII. He fought in the South Pacific, witnessing the deaths of his closest buddies. He suffered Post War Traumatic Stress and never fully recovered. After the war, he attended college for one semester but due to his mental health he was unable to continue. He never married. The war took his life just assuredly as if he had lost it in battle. He gave his all in service to his country.
