Remembering a young soldier

Throughout my family tree, like many other folks around the world, there are members of the military. This includes everything from a likely connection to an American Revolutionary War soldier to my Irish 3x great grandfather serving in the Canadian militia to my brother’s 20+ year military service. When I think of Memorial Day, however, I think of my great uncle Emile Joseph Asselin, who is buried in St. Mihiel Cemetery in France.
