Malvin Griffin Obituary

Malvin Elmo Griffin, Age 91, Passed away peacefully at home on March 23, 2012. Born March 21, 1921 to Alpha Naomi Bice and James Howard Griffin in Simms, Texas.

He landed at Normandy on June 7, 1944, where he and his beloved brother soldiers fought through northern France and Central Europe. Malvin was wounded in combat, receiving the Bronze Star and his Purple Heart.
A kind and gentle man with a razor sharp memory, Malvin cared for his sick mother in her last years. Proceeded in death by his parents and brother Rudolph Adrian Griffin. Survived by his baby sister Jeannie and extensive family. His final wish was to rejoin his infantry brothers for eternity.

Hand Salute Malvin! You may have served with my uncle as he hit the beach about the same time as you. He was with The 90th Infantry Division, known as the Tough 'Ombres, fought with distinction throughout World War II. In a stretch spanning D-Day through VE Day, they participated in five campaigns, suffered some 22,000 casualties, captured over 83,000 prisoners and 288 consecutive days in combat. He was one of the 22,000 that lost their lives! RIP SIR!!
