You are not forgotten.

My Uncle Tom was USN and killed in WWII combat when his ship was sunk during the Battle of Guadalcanal.

Every St Patrick's Day I listen to John McDermott's superb version of "Danny Boy" in my uncle's honor. We never forget him at our family reunions and drink at toast to him.

My father did the same thing you did, named his son after his brother KIA in honor of him.

Thanks for posting.
