***** Hello, I pulled up the memorial for Sgt. Brown to visit him for his birthday. I noticed that he was a native of Port Allen, so I looked up his obituary online since it is local. He was living with his Aunt and she was his guardian. Both of his parent's were deceased. They were James and Arizona Plump Brown. I am still trying to find when they died and where they are buried so that you can link them. I found a photo and attached it. It was in the newspaper. Also, I found it interesting to know that he had already completed one tour in Vietnam and signed up for another when he was killed.
