Bricks for Larry Soroka and Len Curtis
« on: November 10, 2007, 12:52:17 PM »

Ernie Matchett remembers Len Curtis and Larry Soroka at a ceremony at the RCR Museum on November 7, 2007.  Gold Bricks were presented to the museum by the families and friends of the late soldiers, both former members of 1st Battalion.  Part of the Wall is in the background with the Brig. T. Eric Snow window on left.
