"...I have become interested in WWII ever since knowing that might great uncle died on the shores of Tarawa.... His Higgins boat took a direct hit and literally vaporized, as I heard from a relative who had read a letter my grandmother received from one of his buddies. If anyone served with or knew of PFC Merton Riser of Sanborn, Iowa, I would love to hear from you."
PFC Riser is listed as MIA. If any more information is known please send an email.
