Charles Alfred's Story

An ordinary man, an ordinary hero. A man like many who was proud to fight for his country. A man who survived being a prisoner of war and brought home medals and memories that stayed with him until he passed away. A man, a sgt, a hero, a husband, a father, a grandfather and someone who will be remembered always by his loving family.
