Is it sad to hear of the passing of another WWII soldier of the heroic 164th Infantry Regiment. He was a Life Member of the 164th Infantry Association of the United States: his name will be listed in the Last Roll Call of the Oct 08 newsmagazine and he will be remembered at the Memorial Service at the annual reunion in Sep 08. We would very much like to publish a photo and more military information as a tribute to his service, if the family would please contact me at the email listed. Our sympathies.

Everyone at Kelly's Trophies will miss Mr. Cohen and all of his entertaining military stories. He was a great person to stop in and talk to us.
