View all 15 ReflectionsThank you all for honoring the memory of dear Cprl Harold Edmund Anderson, my cousin and my grandmother's first cousin. They were all born in Big Rapids, Michigan, immigrants (1870) from Gotland Sweden in the Baltic sea. They were an industrious settlement of Swedish workers contracted to work on the building of the Railroad, but carrying with them the fine skills of the carpenter and furniture maker. The Swedes of Fourth Avenue. Harold had already survived 18 months in France during WW I and immediately became a State Trooper to further his sense of service. He died so young. His two brothers continued that sense of service as pilots in the military and later flight instructors. His youngest brother rose to Colonel . We honor all the dedication of our Troopers and those who have fallen in their sense of duty. Rest in peace, dear Harold. You are still alive in our hearts.
