Sergeant E-6 George Charles Harrison served in the US Army in WWII. He was an airplane mechanic in New Guinea, Philippines.

After his military service, he married my mother Grace Valiquette. They moved west to the fast growing city of Las Vegas, NV. There he worked as a carpenter at the NV atomic test site, where they built high-rise towers for atomic testing. After that job he went into framing and cabinet making.

As time caught up with him from living a fast life he came down with diabetes. It cost him a leg and it was pretty much all down hill after that. He moved back to his roots and just gave up. He was a good man and father as much as I can remember. It's a shame we didn't have much time together.
