- Son:TYRONE HARRIS KILLED IN VIETNAM WAR ON JULY 12 1967
Tyrone, he was my brother the son of Wreedis and Charles(Buck) Combs. The date of his death is correct he died on my 8th birthday July the 12th 1967. I can remember coming home from day camp at the Salvation Army ( My mother sent us there during the day while she was at work) to find my mother cooking in her kitchen as she always did at that time of day. Trying to pull together a meal for a bunch of hungry children and her husband. It was all she could do to hold herself together and try to keep things as normal as possible to find the right time to tell us what was already eating her up inside she had just lost her first born, and her life would never be the same again. It took many years for her to bear to celebrate my birthday with me on that date again. She always tried to make sure my day was special, but I'm sure it was a very hard occasion for her, she cried a lot around that time of year.(Peggy)
