I only met Vern a time or two, didn't know him that well, but we ought to 
take a moment a remember him for his bravery and service to his country, 
especially during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.  May he rest in eternal 
peace.

Memorial Hospital in Franklin. He was a resident of Franklin.

Jeffrey (Dawn), Kip (Tina) and Troy Brownfield; six great-grandchildren; and

and was at the invasion of Normandy.
