I became friends with the four children and widow of Sgt. Maj.
Harrelson in 1954, well after his tragic accident. The oldest two were twin brothers and we were classmates in elementary and high school. The family of Sgt. Major. Harrelson were rightfully proud of the position and dedication of this honorable man.
