Abstract

The article tells the story of Horace Dan Bennett and Mary Juarene Brown, a young couple who were separated and suffered loss during World War II. They were neighbors in the small central Texas town of Crawford, and had planned to marry, but Horace died during the war. It describes Horace's life as a pilot for the U.S. Army until his plane sank into the Pacific near Japan. Also discussed are the ways Juarene has remembered and honored him through the years until she died.
